It's that time of the year again and this year soul talent JEFF HERSHEY and his HEARTBEATS have a very special Christmas present for you: their brand new 7' with its spooky and revealing title 'Santa Claus Is A Monster'. This soulful rock'n'roll-gift is wrapped in a fantastically creepy cover-artwork by brilliant album-cover artist Merinuk, who is well-known through his artwork of countless famous 60's-Garage records. The A-side of 'Santa Claus Is A Monster' is the same-named Rhythm&Blues tune, written by Jeff Hershey and Sam Bolle. The midtempo song accentuates Jeff's powerful voice and through the soft female background vocals achieves an uncanny sound that has some of Screamin' Jay Hawkins in it. Jeff Hershey knows the truth about Santa and wrote a modern Christmas classic about it, which can readily match up to the popular songs by NICK WATERHOUSE! The B-side consists of JEFF HERSHEY's cover versions of two Christmas-songs by the legendary SONICS: 'Santa Claus' and 'Don't Believe In Christmas', which he and his HEARTBEATS perform in their soulful, yet wild way that will turn your Christmas into a party. JEFF HERSHEY & THE HEARTBEATS' 7' 'Santa Claus Is A Monster' is a fantastic piece of vinyl and the perfect Christmas gift for all R&B/Soul/Garage-lovers!
