Ah, Christmas. The time of year when Christmas singles get released. Bloody things. This year will, of course, be no different. The Futureheads are one of the earliest bands (of the lot we care at least a little bit about, anyway) to be releasing one of these. It's called 'Christmas Was Better In The 80s' and is released via their own Nul Records on December 19, some 6 days before the big day.

There's now a video for it, too, so you can see and hear what's going on

WAS Christmas really better in the 1980s, or is this just mindless sloganeering from The Futureheads?
