Get Ready to Fall in Love with Chandra’s Joyous Indie Melodic Pop Rock Infused Christmas Hugs

Feel the magical holiday vibes and emotive power of music as Chandra from Bristol brings festive joy with their latest single.

On Friday, 22nd November 2024, England’s very own Indie Melodic Pop Rock band, Chandra, unveiled their latest single, “Christmas Hugs.” Bursting with joy, good vibes, and catchy earworm melodies, this festive track promises to light up your holiday season. Following the August release of their 6-track Lifted EP, “Christmas Hugs” exemplifies Chandra’s knack for cheeky, melody-driven pop-rock infused with unabashed festive flair and nostalgic nods to Christmas gold.

As a collective of music curators at PopHits.Co, we are excited about this release. “Christmas Hugs” is not merely another holiday song; it captures the heart and soul of the Christmas spirit. The band’s frontman, Chandra Nair, encapsulates this essence perfectly:

“My favourite thing about Christmas is the swell of joy and goodwill that spreads like a virus as soon as Halloween ends and runs all the way through to New Year’s Eve. It’s as if people give themselves permission to be more friendly, more charitable, and more forgiving than they ever would be at any other time of year. We wanted to write a song that celebrates this wonderful transformation of the human spirit but also a song that acts like a great big Christmas hug in, and of, itself.”

Chandra’s music is a delightful blend of Indie Melodic Pop Rock, bringing elements of power pop and alternative rock to the forefront. The track “Christmas Hugs,” co-produced with long-time collaborator Aaron Shawt, combines a festive sizzle with the poignant message characteristic of all Chandra’s music. The cover art, illustrated by the legendary Wil Overton, is visually stunning and perfectly complements the joyous soundscapes created by the band.

The band, comprising Keith Jones on drums, Chris Wong on bass, and frontman Chandra Nair on guitar and vocals, is currently seeking a new lead guitarist to add to their dynamic ensemble. Famous artists like The 1975 and Bastille, who also dabble in the Indie Melodic Pop Rock genre, would no doubt be proud to see such a talented group emerging from Bristol.

The “Christmas Hugs” music video is set to launch alongside the single. It promises to be a glowing bundle of warmth and smiles, showcasing the band playing in a beautifully decorated Christmas yurt, simply having fun. This visual treat will undoubtedly enhance the already compelling auditory experience, highlighting the magic of pop and rock-pop fusion during the holiday music season.

For all music lovers and festive enthusiasts, exploring Chandra’s work is an absolute must. Their engaging melodies and heartfelt lyrics provide a unique auditory experience that stands out in the crowd of holiday music. To stay updated and dive into their musical journey, follow them on the Website, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, BandCamp, and YouTube.

Make sure to like, listen, and share our curated playlist to spread festive cheer and support outstanding indie talent like Chandra. This holiday season, let “Christmas Hugs” be the soundtrack to your celebrations and witness the exceptional craftsmanship that this brilliant band brings to the alternative rock and indie pop rock scenes.
