Santa Claus Is Green

WE SAY

The Band Agency made a CD of bands who played at their Best Of In The City nights and this leapt out from it. It has elements of Beck, Jack Johnson and the Barenaked Ladies. It's also very commercial. So we went to Newton's intriguing but uninformative website and realised we'd been pointed there before by a post on our message board. Add to that a recent well-attended showcase and there seems to be a buzz building.
