His Favorite Christmas Story - by Capital Lights

One of my favourite Christmas story songs...
Capital Lights is based out of Tulsa, OK.  They started initially as a screamo band called afterEIGHT, but after a couple people left, bassist/vocalist Bryson Phillips rewrote some material & they became Capital Lights.  They signed with Tooth & Nail Records in 2007 & released their debut LP "This is an Outrage!" on July 8th, 2008.  As fate would have it, however, they broke up, announcing this in August 2009.  But don't be disappointed - they announced late last year that they plan to record a new album!  A couple of things have changed in their personal lives since, as guitarist Brett Admire got married & guitarist Jonathan Williams got engaged (& if either of you see this: Congrats to both of you!).  As such, they tweeted a tweet on Twitter just 2 days ago, stating: "Just got some mixes back for the new record!! Can't wait for you guys to hear them".  It's still going to be released on T&N, however, I do not believe they have released an official date.  This song was released in 2008 with T&N's Christmas compilation "X Christmas".
