The Rubberbandits' Christmas message

Striking a mean yet festive pose on the cover of the bumper Christmas/New Year issue of Hot Press are Blindboy Boat Club and Mr. Chrome, aka Ireland's finest surreal comedy hip hop duo, The Rubberbandits.

In an in-depth and quite frankly bizarre interview with Olaf Tyaransen, the gruesome twosome muse over how they came to be, the breakout success of last year's 'Horse Outside', teaching Ice Cube the art of the hurley stick, their relationship with the media and so much more. To read the full discourse, pick up the new issue, in shops now.

In the meantime, the boys wanted to spread a little festive joy by revealing their favourite things to do at this most wonderful time of year. You can check that video out below. Keep an eye on hotpress.com for further Bandits-related activity from their Hot Press cover shoot.
