Fed up with the annual warbling from the Christmas chart contenders? Well fear not for this year The Handsome Family plan to rescue you from this torment with a free download of their track "So Much Wine", a song the band performed to much acclaim on Later...with Jools Holland and was recently covered by Christy Moore.

Taken from the album 'In The Air' it's a cautionary tale of a festive breakdown that should sit comfortably alongside the Queen's speech, mistletoe, the inevitable family slanging match and industrial strength tranquillisers.
It'll be available as a free download at loosemusic.com from December 1st, 2008.
