5 Neat Guys Light Up the Holidays With a Playful Blues-Rock Spark on “Unwrap You At Christmas.”

Toronto’s beloved blues-rock collective 5 Neat Guys return with a wink, a grin, and a whole lot of festive swagger on their new single “Unwrap You At Christmas,” the first glimpse into their upcoming holiday album PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!. Known for their vintage-tinged sound and bar-band charm, the group leans fully into their mischievous side here, and the result is a holiday track that refuses to blend into the background noise of tinsel-lined playlists.

“Unwrap You At Christmas” is cheeky without crossing the line, warm without being cliché, and playful in a way only a seasoned live band can deliver. Ed Lounsbury’s vocals slide comfortably between blues grit and nostalgic rock crooning, while the band’s unmistakable chemistry carries the song with effortless joy. The now-infamous mouth-trumpet, so originally an inside joke, turns into one of the song’s most memorable moments, adding a perfect layer of goofy charm.

What makes this release stand out is its authenticity. 5 Neat Guys aren’t trying to reinvent holiday music; they’re bringing the fun back to it. The track’s retro bounce, clean guitar licks, and tight rhythm section echo the band’s roots: classic bar-band energy blended with true musicianship. It feels like a Christmas party jam you’d actually want to attend.

Formed in 2016 by guitarist Doug Hibovski, the band has evolved from a temporary experiment into a well-respected Toronto staple. With four albums behind them and a fifth on the way, they continue sharpening their identity while keeping things lighthearted and community-driven. “Unwrap You At Christmas” is festive, funny, bluesy, and full of personality, a holiday tune that doesn’t try too hard because it doesn’t need to. For listeners who want their Christmas music with real guitars, real charm, and real soul, 5 Neat Guys deliver exactly what the season ordered.
