New York based I Surrender Records and ska punk band We Are The Union know that the holidays aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. Today they’ve shared “Yr Always Alone (On Christmas)”, a sullen look at the other side of the most joyful time of the year. The track will be featured on the label’s forthcoming holiday compilation I Surrender Sleighs, set to be released on December 2nd.

The band shares: “’Yr Always Alone (On Christmas)’ is almost not a holiday song. It’s a fairly cynical take on loneliness as a consequence of selfishness, but it’s centered around Christmas as a focal point. The holidays are a time when so many people come together, so it seemed like the perfect setting for a story about being alone.”

I Surrender Sleighs, a holiday compilation featuring 9 original tracks from Valencia, Vinnie Caruana, We Are The Union, Punchline, and more, is set to be released on December 2nd.
