Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch and his new band The Speaker Wars are getting into the holiday spirit with the release of a new Christmas song.

The band — made up of Lynch, singer-songwriter Jon Christopher Davis, Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion and Jay Brown on keyboards — has just released the holiday song "Brighten the Corner."

"The Speaker Wars are wishing y'all a soulful, joyful and peaceful holiday season," says Lynch.

"Brighten the Corner" is available via digital outlets.

The Speaker Wars released their self-titled debut album in May. For the holidays, fans who purchase the album through the band's web store will get the Christas single, along with a Christmas card signed by Lynch, as an extra bonus, while supplies last.
