Welsh poppy punk quintet Swansea Sound pay tribute to Noddy Holder's legendary headgear with (I Wanna Wear A) Mirrored Hat Like Slade, an alternative Christmas single wherein the whole family gets a present: an IPad for Grandma, so she can enjoy watching porn and ads, beer for grandad, a Spotify subscription for the kids. But getting smashed and dancing the night away wearing said hat? That does not actually happen.
B-side Dreamland is another wish that will never get fulfilled: a party that last half a year is not part of the equation, but the starving kids on the telly are a reality they can't get away from.
(I Wanna Wear A) Mirrored Hat Like Slade is released via Skep Wax Records (CD in a hand-signed hand-stamped card, digital).
Live dates:- 12/15 Twentieth Century Speedway, Folkestone, UK
