Trigger MafiaB次元官网网址檚 lead rocker, LangleyB次元官网网址檚 own Shawn Meehan, hopes the bandB次元官网网址檚 newest single B次元官网网址� coming out next week B次元官网网址� will be the next hockey anthem.

The four-member rock band had been working on an EP with a record label out of the Netherlands. They had three songs recorded and ready to go, but were being pushed to come up with a fourth.

Busy with their other band, West Coast Slackers B次元官网网址� Meehan said they were a little reluctant to commit to another song. B次元官网网址淲e were on the fence.B次元官网网址�

But then the producers said B次元官网网址淚 have a good feeling about you guys,B次元官网网址� and offered to help pay for it.

B次元官网网址淗ow could we refuse?B次元官网网址� Meehan laughed.

About seven months ago now, they were struggled to come up with just the right song, when Meehan took inspiration from his regular visits to the hockey rink with his son, who is developing as a high-performance player.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 in the arena four to five times a week,B次元官网网址� he said, if not at his sonB次元官网网址檚 practices and games, then at the Vancouver Giants, Abbotsford Canucks, or Vancouver Canucks games.

Noticing the same seven or eight song playing at every game, Meehan suggested they try creating a tune appropriate for that playlist. Six writers, months of brainstorming, and multiple rewrites later, and Barnburner is now ready for release.

B次元官网网址淲e just kept rewriting it and rewriting it, and rewriting it, until it felt really good,B次元官网网址� Meehan said.

The video, shot in early September at Sportsplex in Walnut Grove, is already out on , and the EP comes out online next Wednesday, Dec. 20.

Meehan describes it as a hard driving hockey anthem.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 three minutes of pure energetic game time motivation that will ramp up the team and put the audience into a frenzy.B次元官网网址�

So while theyB次元官网网址檝e shopped it out to some of the area hockey teams to play, in the new year Trigger Mafia is going to start targeting a lot of big hockey markets in Canada, hoping it will become one of those quintessential hockey songs of the ages, played at every game across the continent B次元官网网址� be that a midgets scrimmage or an NHL battle.

Cam Moon, radio announcer for the Edmonton Oilers B次元官网网址� who does a voice over on the track B次元官网网址� said: B次元官网网址淏arnburner intertwines hockey and music with magical precision. As Dickie Dunn said in B次元官网网址楽lapshotB次元官网网址�, it captures the spirit of the thing.B次元官网网址�

King Richard Brodeur, retired Vancouver Canucks star goalie and Stanley Cup finalist B次元官网网址� whoB次元官网网址檚 mentioned as a legend in the song B次元官网网址� describes how he felt after the first listen: B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 a cool song! Love it!B次元官网网址�

TheyB次元官网网址檙e getting a lot of interest and play already, and Meehan B次元官网网址� who is not a hockey player B次元官网网址� is excited by the fervor building around the song.

B次元官网网址淚 played house league for a year, and was terrible,B次元官网网址� he admitted, leaving hockey to his brother and his son to master, while he sits in the playing guitar, instead.

In addition to releasing this latest Trigger Mafia EP and its title track, Meehan has been busy with a few other major music projects in recent months.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e got three heavy-duty projects all doing well,B次元官网网址� he shared.

Meehan is currently working with producer Brian Howes and will be shopping in the U.S. for a record label for his southern country-rock band, West Coast Slackers B次元官网网址� which consists of many of the same performers that make up Trigger Mafia.

In addition to Meehan, who plays guitar and is lead vocalist with Trigger Mafia, heB次元官网网址檚 accompanied by Jay Wittur on bass guitar and vocals, Rod Senft on drums, Karl Oystensen on keyboards and vocals, and Chandra Russell providing back up vocals.

Meehan is also working with his second cousin from Coquitlam, developing the 15-year-old jazz-pop artist and B次元官网网址済oing for that sort of Michael Buble type market.B次元官网网址�

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. SheB次元官网网址檚 got a fantastic voice. Do you mind if I developer?B次元官网网址�,B次元官网网址� Meehan recounted the discussion.
