In 2008
Fuel 2000 resurrected
the Archies and set them to work recording an album of Christmas classics and a couple newly written holiday songs. Utilizing the original voice of
Archie Ron Dante on a few songs but focusing on the vocals of
Betty and
Veronica (
Danielle van Zyl and
Kelly-Lynn) in an attempt to capture some of the
Hannah Montana magic still going strong in 2008, the record won't make anyone forget the charms of the original
Archies. The generic pop/rock arrangements and modern recording techniques certainly don't help, but despite the record's flaws, it does provide an innocuous and relatively pleasant alternative to the usual Xmas musical fare.
