Two Man Advantage By: Vinnie Apicella |

This is gonna get real ugly. Here you've got a bunch of rabid hockey fans. we'll assume anyway, they apparently know what a zamboni is-then again unless we're talking about some whacked out sorta Brooklyn cab driver type slang that us Northerners haven't quite met up with yet. but no, a few songs in and it's clear these guys know their stuff! Two Man Advantage scores quickly within the opening minutes and doesn't let up on the offensive zone pressure till well into the period! Gotta be quick with this one, there's barely room to exhale between songs-"Don't Label Us" a mean, anthemic type that leads the charge and dare I'd suggest this might be a great between periods home team motivator. nah, probably not but it'll surely ignite a fire in someone somewhere. Now here's sort of a lucid moment only the third song in and all of a sudden the guitars vanish into the background in favor of some unexpectedly well sung verses for "New Season" and a rather catchy one at that. Back to black again, and blue for that matter, "Opinionated Motherfucker," but wait, there go those near harmonic verses again-actually more for the chorus which gives it a corny twist but gets the point across about as well as a stick to the ribs. The Long Island, New York natives have plenty to be pissed about-I mean, they had to have grown up Islanders fans, so what better reason to have a world-sized chip on yer shoulder. They're all about blades, boozing, bruising and brawlin. hey wait, that sounds almost familiar. I know these guys did something a while back on another label and definitely much shorter than this one-the damned thing's got seventeen cuts on it-So pop the top, pass the puck, breakaway and rejoice in an icy cold soundtrack for the coolest game on earth!
