Listen to Porno For Pyros’ uplifting new Christmas song ‘Pete’s Dad’

Porno For Pyros have shared an uplifting new Christmas track titled ‘Pete’s Dad’ – check it out below.The new song comes in time for the holiday season, and sees the alt-rock band recall their time spending Christmas with the father of guitarist Peter DiStefano.It also celebrates the musician’s father being told that he is cancer-free. “Pete’s dad don’t have cancer anymore/ The doctor called and told him so, just before/ We sat down for Christmas supper/ When he found out we all cried a little,” frontman Perry Farrell sings in the chorus.Although the track was labelled as new music by the band when they first teased it on their X/Twitter page, it was originally shared nearly 30 years ago as a standalone single in 1995.“Best friends are people of action, when Porno for Pyros created this song ‘Pete’s Dad,’ that’s when I knew these band of men were my best friends,” DiStefano said in a statement announcing the song.
