The Skinny Review:
The latest from Canadian artist THUNDERCLAP is a holiday song from a different perspective. This artistic and beautiful piece is about the less joyful side of Christmas, speaking of the unhoused and less fortunate. The video is a preview of the artist's documentary on this very subject, driving home the important message of the song.
In Their Own Words:
“5 months before Covid hit us I founded Camp Cataract in Niagara Falls (a northern themed bar/ pizzeria/ performance venue) and in the midst of Covid our downtown saw an unprecedented influx of unhoused individuals inundate the area. Unlike larger city centres, this small town was suddenly (and literally) face to face with this issue and not viewing it from afar as usual. As a store owner I was up close and toeing the line of navigating what’s good for business vs. acknowledging peoples’ problems and their humanity. With all the conflicting emotions that come along with this, I was compelled to write this song that addresses & empathizes with the derelict and downtrodden side of the holidays. ”
