WATCH: The Dirty 9s' Christmas song

Tis the season...to be releasing Christmas songs. The Killers, Tim & Emmy, She & Him... they're all at it. And now you can add The Dirty 9s to that list as the Dublin rockers unleash yuletide effort 'Into The Winter's Night'.

So what's the story behind the song? Reads a joint communiqué:

“This song was written by the dying embers of a fire at Christmas, after too much wine, thinking about moments lost and absent friends, with thoughts always falling back to that one person who inspires you above all else.”

The track is available as a free download over @ The Dirty 9s' Bandcamp page . Check out the Grafton Street-set video below.
