10 Rock Christmas Songs to Get You In The Spirit
Guitar Habits

Is loving the holidays considered punk rock? We may never know the answer. All we can do is make the holiday more rock and roll. Here's ten songs to help you deck the halls and air guitar.


1. Happy Christmas (War is Over) by Bert McCracken ft. Street Drum Corps

There is nothing quite like the flawless vocals of Bert McCracken of the Used paired with the never ending instrumental talents of Street Drum Corps.

2. All I Want For Christmas Is You by My Chemical Romance
Mariah Carey may have included Justin Bieber in her version, but I guarantee that this hard rock cover will never include the pop star.

3. Santa Stole My Girlfriend by The Maine
This hilarious original song tells the tale of Santa Claus swooping in and stealing the girlfriend of (presumably) someone in the Maine.

4. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by Issues
In case you've ever wondered what Nsync' sounds like with screaming and guitars, this is it.

5. Santa Baby by VersaemergeThis seductively playful track is only made better by the vocal stylings of Sierra Kay.

6. Little Drummer Boy by The AlmostEveryone's favorite drummer boy from Underoath displays a high degree of vocal talents in this classic.

7. O Holy Night by Go RadioWho knew rock music could be so beautiful?

8. Christmassacre by From First To Last
Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like Sonny Moore screaming violently into your earbuds.

9. Father Christmas by the MisfitsThis is the only song to play for a merry Misftmas, and a happy new year.

10. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch by Gary HoeyThe only mean thing about this song is the guitar skills.

Open up your music library, buy these songs, and there's no doubt that you will be rockin' around the Christmas tree this holiday season.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
