Washington, DC punk duo Teen Mortgage are getting festive with their new holiday track, Below the Christmas Tree, that is anything but a typical holiday track. Teen Mortgage are also partnering with Super Skate Posse and the Boys and Girls Club of Baltimore to provide 50 pre-selected, area youths with new skateboards, helmets, and Converse sneakers, along with a skate demo and music performance in Baltimore. The event will take place at the Skatepark Of Baltimore, located at 1201 W 36th Street, Baltimore, MD on Saturday, November 22 from 2 to 3pm, and will include demos from professional skaters Brian Anderson, Darren Harper, Spencer Brown, and Tony Massey, as well as a full performance from the band. 

“We wanted to give people a new Christmas song to throw in their rotation because the usual Christmas hits get tedious to listen to. The song is a satire of people’s tendency to ignore the world and embrace consumerism during Christmas and the way they would continue the tradition in the face of a nuclear holocaust. But the flip side of that is that Christmas is a call for peace. We’re insanely proud to offer kids a chance to be part of the skate community in Baltimore and maybe get inspired to be in a band too.” (guitarist & vocalist James Guile)

The Super Skate Posse givebacks partner with local organizations across America to remove the cost barrier of access to the mental health benefits of skateboarding through a one of a kind experience to underserved youth. This is the first time the event will take place in Baltimore and is sponsored by The Boys And Girls Club Of Baltimore, Converse, Good360, Lingraphica, No Expectations, Team Bonding, Vu Skateshop, JBL Audio, Polio Treading, and Primary Wave.

In addition to this special performance, the band will perform at two holiday-themed shows. The will appear at the Jingle Bell Roxy LA on December 10. Jingle Bell Roxy is a 13-night concert series in partnership with Union Rescue Mission. There will be a donation drive at each show to support those in need this season. The band will also perform at Blissmas 25 with Better Lovers, Glassjaw, Saves The Day, Terror, Onyx, Haywire 617, Koyo, and Johnny Booth on December 13th.
