Professor and The Madman - Christmas Eve

Professor and The Madman - "Christmas Eve" from the 2018 album Disintegrate Me on Fullertone Records.

This week, we are featuring Christmas-themed songs selected by Brian Foss, one of the hosts of KEXPs punk show Sonic Reducer, lover of off-brand holiday tunes, and owner of pants. Brian has been doing a punk rock Christmas special every year since 2004 and has been a Christmas Day on-air DJ since 2012. No standards are played, only original X-Mess songs, most with a humorous bent. Hear him this holiday season from 12-7 PM PT on Friday, December 25th, and get even more seasonal songs on his 17th annual Punk Rock Christmas show on Sonic Reducer, available in KEXP's two-week Streaming Archive (scroll down to the December 20th show).

Brian says:

Over their two full length albums Professor and the Madman ‎show to be masters of writing strong pop hooks. The funny thing is the band is made up of old school punk veterans and even though there is some punch in their music, PATM prefers to focus on melody as opposed to aggression.

Writing a story about becoming homeless on Christmas Eve, the band shows off their deft songwriting ability and biting lyrics in todays pick.

Professor and the Madman is:

Alfie Agnew - vocals/guitar/keyboards (Adolescents, D.I.)

Sean Elliott – vocals/guitar/keyboards (D.I., Mind Over Four)

Paul Gray – bass (The Damned, Eddie & The Hot Rods, UFO)

Rat Scabies – drums (One Thousand Motels, The Sinclairs, The Damned)
