about
An obscure clause in The Anxieties band charter prohibits us from playing any holiday songs, so in order to facilitate giving the people what they never said they wanted, Scott Von Rocket & The Holiday Suicides exists to perform your holiday soirees. This particular track was a solo experiment in the Lab fueled by Scott's nightmare visions of Santa presiding over a world not unlike Gary Numan's "Down In The Park."
lyrics
Xmas in Sector 7, the snow-bots are on patrol
You won't make it if you run, just give in to the cold
Xmas in Sector 7, the lights are shining down
They pierce the night so beautifully, and so you will be found
Xmas in Sector 7, can you hear the bells?
When you learn their purpose, how you'll wish it were something else
Xmas in Sector 7, I wouldn't try to scale the walls
The circling sleigh will target you, and to your end you'll fall
Xmas in Sector 7, the minefields have been armed
If you stay where you're assigned, you'll come to no harm
Xmas in Sector 7, all is coated white
The Fat Man's cameras see you and you're on his list tonight...
Xmas in Sector 7, Xmas in Sector 7, Xmas in Sector 7...

The Anxieties are a four-piece punk rock band formed in Eugene, but now based in Portland, Oregon. Dusted Magazine called us "garage rockin' punk, mad scientist-core for the paranoid and suspicious" and that sounds about right to me.
A four-track bout between two of Australia's most formidable post-punk groups, fueled by wiry guitar riffs and vibrant, timely lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 19, 2022
