In addition to being editor of city blog Philebrity, Joey Sweeney’s current rock and roll curriculum vitae includes the baroque pop influenced Long Hair Arkestra, and the more rocking Arctic Splash. A year ago, the Splash (which features XPN director of engineering Jared Styles on bass) recorded a Key Studio Session during which they debuted their own seasonal single “Don’t Kill Yourself This Christmas.” In the spirit of the holiday music melee, we revisit the song for you to download below. Arctic Splash play on Sunday, January 12, at the Gold Club in Northern Liberties.
