Guaranteed to eliminate the Scrooge out of anyone. Who could not be into the Christmas sprit after hearing the underrated indie pop bands of America bounce along to holiday carols — some traditional, others made up specifically for Kindercore Christmas Two. Dressy Bessy’s “All the Right Reasons” and Vermont’s “Santa Claws” are catchy enough to be sung door to door. Busytoby, I Am the World Trade Center, Junior Varsity (who do a playful version of the Sonics’ “Don’t Believe in Christmas”), the Mendoza Line, and the Sixth Great Lake are all in the spirit as well. – Mike DaRonco
