Reading, UK's Launch Control have released their fifth annual holiday-themed single for charity. This year's entry, "Maybe it's time for Santa to retire," is out now, with 100% of the proceeds going to the locally-based Launchpad charity (no relation), which works to prevent homelessness, and to assist the homeless in need.

LC has also put out a video for the single and, as usual, unlike their usual avant-garde style of socio-political punk, the holiday single is a bit more upbeat and poppy.

The band will also be playing a couple of gigs before the end of the year, including support for Consumed in London this Saturday. You can check out the single, video, and the details of those upcoming gigs, below.
