They may not be getting a starring role in Left 4 Dead 2 downloadable content as we’d hoped, but the self-proclaimed Greatest Southern Rock Supergroup of All Time is providing more musical back up than we were expecting.
The Midnight Riders—or their management, we presume, since the band has been missing in action since October—have released their holiday single “All I Want For Christmas (Is To Kick Your arse)” online, giving Left 4 Dead 2/southern rock superfans a new Christmas anthem to break pool cues and beer bottles to.
The fiction, explaining how the Midnight Riders would even conceive of writing a Christmas tune, can be enjoyed at the band’s YouTube page.

I love ZZ Top – musically they’re pretty rubbish, but they’re so damn cool. Who doesn’t like ZZ Top?!?
