“‘Last Christmas’ is definitely the one that stood out to us amongst the Christmas staples, and we wanted to make our own version of this beloved classic,” shares the band. “But we didn’t just want to make a cut and paste cover. We wanted to make a true Pistols at Dawn version, and between Jon’s intimate vocal performance and Will’s signature guitar playing, we were able to create a song that would make George Michael proud… With its beautiful string arrangement, this will be a welcome addition to all gatherings around the fireplace surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones for generations to come.”It follows the new single “Obsession.” Watch the lyric video here.

Pistols At Dawn craft the kind of rock music that doesn’t just reach the rafters; it breaks through the ceiling. Sky-high hooks stretch into the heavens, a powerful low-end rumbles without apology, and riffs roar at all the right moments. Thus far, the Atlanta band have emerged as a phenomenon. They’ve amassed nearly 10 million global streams and views, infiltrated the Billboard and Mediabase Top 40 Active Rock charts, earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Brave Words, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and embarked upon global tours alongside heavy-hitters such as Alter Bridge, Mammoth WVH, and Fozzy, to name a few. The quartet canvased the world throughout 2022 and 2023. Upon returning stateside, they opted to decamp to Los Angeles in order to assemble new material. Stayed tuned for more, because Pistols at Dawn are leveling up.
