While Allston Christmas might mean free gear for your new apartment to some, it means joy and coming together to cover holiday classics for a cause. Last year, we were given the gift of A Very Allston Christmas, a compilation album of local bands covering tender, heartwarming holiday songs curated by Kitner’s Conor Maier and Save Ends‘ Christine Atturio. This year,  they’re giving us its follow-up: A Very Allston Christmas, Vol 2. The album will host songs from Soft Fangs, Lilith, Saccharine, Kitner, and so much more great local talent, with cover art designed by Atturio. All proceeds from the album will be donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank. So give the songs a spin while you’re wrapping presents and seeing friends. Stream and download the album here.
