In addition to PTX Vol. 3, Pentatonix will also release a brand new holiday album – That’s Christmas To Me – on October 21st. The album is named for an original holiday song penned by the group, and includes a combination of classic holiday tracks, modern favorites and a one-of-a-kind holiday mash-up.

Earlier this week, Pentatonix was featured as part of MTV’s campaign for Paramount Pictures’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where they wrote an original Turtles-inspired track to accompany a series of promotional videos that premiered on MTV and live on the PTX YouTube channel (view the video here). In 2015, Pentatonix will also appear in Universal Pictures’ Pitch Perfect 2, where they will play a Canadian a cappella group and rivals to the Barden Bellas.

Pentatonix consists of lead vocalists Scott Hoying (22), Kirstie Maldonado (22) and Mitch Grassi (22), vocal bass Avi Kaplan (25) and beatboxer Kevin “K.O.” Olusola (25).
