CHARLY BLISS & PUP

TEAM UP FOR NEW HOLIDAY SINGLE

"IT'S CHRISTMAS AND I FUCKING MISS YOU"

Charly Bliss have teamed up with PUP for a new holiday classic for our current times titled "It's Christmas and I Fucking Miss You." The song, which premiered last weekend on Charly Bliss' holiday livestream It's A Blissful Life, is available everywhere now.

"Our managers have been trying to get us to write a Christmas song for years and we've never followed through, but we decided that enlisting our friends in PUP would at least make it fun" said Charly Bliss' Eva Hendricks. "We never imagined we'd be so proud and absolutely thrilled as we are by the results. We tried to write a song that reflects the absolute insanity of this year and the fact that everyone in the world is stuck missing someone this holiday season and probably feeling a similar combination of emo, angsty and vulnerable!!!!"

 

PUP's Stefan Babcock added "I was so excited when Charly Bliss asked me to write a Christmas song with them. I don't know if I'd be able to write a Christmas song under normal circumstances, but since Christmas is shit this year, seemed like it was right in my wheelhouse! Plus Charly Bliss are an amazing band and amazing people, so it was a no-brainer. If we're judging it alongside other Christmas songs, I think we smashed it."

Charly Bliss' critically acclaimed sophomore album Young Enough is out now via Barsuk Records and PUP's This Place Sucks Ass EP, which landed on Stereogum and Exclaim's Best EPs of 2020 lists is out now via Rise Records.

PRAISE FOR CHARLY BLISS:

"Charly Bliss propose an antidote for the burnout generation: target the root of your impulses, forgive yourself, and embrace the unclaimed potential that is your future."
-Pitchfork

"A catchy, smart synth anthem for twentysomething burnouts."
-Rolling Stone  

"Young Enough is going to fully establish them as one of the best guitar groups in the world."
-The FADER

"Deliriously fun power-pop... An anthem for emotional exhaustion at the hands of someone you deeply care for."
-NPR

"Can someone remind me why they aren't the biggest rock band in the world yet?"
-Jezebel

"More measured but no less cathartic... Eva Hendricks continues to pen some of the smartest, most affecting lyrics in indie rock."
-Stereogum

"Irresistible pop... It's surprisingly danceable, and a pop-minded direction that wouldn't feel out of place on a playlist with Tegan & Sara or Carly Rae Jepsen."
-Noisey

"The new record unapologetically embraces the first half of the pop-punk designator the Brooklyn band earned on their debut."
-Consequence of Sound

"The band has always embraced joy and energy in their music, and their evolving sound is a natural progression from the melodic, earworm-catchy bubblegum grunge of their previous record."
-UPROXX

"Has all of the band's signature power-pop sound, but this time it appears to be pointed more towards major-key synths than the punk fervor of their debut record Guppy."
