The track comes paired with the band’s previously released original holiday song “Pub Crawl,” which is now available on all streaming platforms for the first time. The Last Christmas (We Ever Spend Apart) is available here: https:// “Up until recently, we had little interest in Christmas songs, let alone writing them, but after the pandemic and the social isolation that came with it, we think about the holidays in a different and more significant way,” explains frontman Max Kerman. “We couldn’t shake the feeling of how we miss the mundane and sometimes arduous activities that happen when you go home for the holidays. So many of us couldn’t see our folks or extended family because of lockdown, and we wanted to write a song about never taking those little moments for granted.” Alongside new holiday merch, both songs are available for purchase on a signed limited edition 7” vinyl, with A/B cover art by Arkells guitarist Mike DeAngelis, available exclusively in the Arkells online store BELOW. With longer than ever wait-times to produce vinyl globally in 2021, Arkells were able to cut 500 copies of their holiday 7” with the help of Red Spade Records’ Robyn Raymond, who manufactured each by hand. “The thought and care that went into making this physical piece of music can’t be understated,” said Kerman. “Robyn’s skill and love of the craft made an impossible timeline possible. We’re thrilled she was able to take the reins on this one.” Produced by Derek Hoffman, Art by Mike DeAngelis Watch the official “Pub Crawl” video, directed by Mark Myers, HERE. “Pub Crawl” stems from a ‘12 Pubs of Christmas’ style tradition – a time the band reconnects with friends and family and gets into the holiday spirit. Arkells recently shared live video cuts from their three once-in-a-return-from-pandemic history making nights at Toronto’s Iconic Budweiser Stage, as a tease to their 2022 Blink Once tour dates, planned for Canada, USA, the UK and Germany.
