Swedish powerpoppers The Genuine Fakes have released a nice X-mas cover in the spirit of the holidays and PowerPop!



The song which is now being released is a complete makeover of the classic ”All I Want for Christmas”. The Genuine Fakes' take on it is loosely based on the Mariah Carey version, but with a different beat and plenty more energy and power it brings your thoughts more to The Posies and Foo Fighters. Add to that some killer Queen style vocal harmonies and you've got a truly spectacular combination!

Their version of ”All I Want for Christmas” can be downloaded/streamed from the music section of The Genuine Fakes' website - click here.
