New wave rockers Xposed 4heads’ latest tune is about the half-goat, half-demon Krampus of German folklore.

Art rock band Xposed 4heads’ latest is a fun dance-pop tune about running around hiding from authority.

*Disclaimer: I was born in 1990. If I get any cultural references wrong, don’t be mad at me. I’m trying. I have often said that if I grew up in the 80’s, I would’ve totally been a new wave kid. Complete with day-glo, Vision Street Wear, and hair that defied gravity in many ways. With that said, I have a
