Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek has launched a bid for Christmas number one with his Roses, Kings, Castles side-project.

Ficek will release 'Horses', a track from the project's debut album, on December 15th.

The song has been re-worked with sleigh bells and other Christmas sounds especially for the release.

Speaking about the song, Ficek said: "Its about the many wintry things I dream about in the months running up to Christmas.

“Throw in some characters from my past, present and future and you're left with Horses, a tale of Jack Frostical proportions."

'Horses' will be available to download from December 8th.
