The Zambonis, the world’s only (and greatest) all-hockey indie-rock band, release their sixth album, Five-Minute Major (in D Minor) The new 15-track album (co-produced by Peter Katis, The National, Interpol, Trey Anastasio, Mates of State) is a genre-spanning mix of musical styles, with tuneful, melodic toe-tapping sing-alongs and amped-up rockers alongside rave-ups—and even a surf-rock version of the Hartford Whalers’ theme song, “Brass Bonanza.” Their pop-rock nugget, “Captain” is already being hailed as “one of the catchiest tunes you’ll ever hear” (The Hartford Courant). Guest on the record include NRBQ's Johnny Spampinato and legendary punk rocker (and teacher) Atom and His Package. To this day, The Zambonis hockey rock can be heard blasting from Jumbotrons at NHL and minor league games, local rinks crappy sound systems and in the stereo of folks who just simply have fine taste in music be it hockey rock or not. The Zambonis Notable Quotes: “On paper, it sounds like a novelty: an album of songs that celebrate hockey. But in the hands of The Zambonis, the concept is elevated to an art form that won’t melt under the heat of critics or music fans. What’s more, they have a sense of humor about themselves…A timely and surprisingly appealing release.”--Billboard “They’re actually funny and actually rock!”--Time Out New York “With a repertoire comprised exclusively of hockey songs, you’d think they’re destined for a short run: A cult band singing about a cult sport…but their cult is getting noticed.” --The Village Voice “Their new record is as goofy, poppy and puck-obsessed as their previous two…Hockey heads and indie rock fans, you’ll love these guys!”--ESPN Magazine “You wacky singing hockey nuts!”--Bobby Orr “A hockey-themed band we can all love”--Entertainment Weekly “Dude, I love The Zambonis!”--Ben Kweller “I love The Zambonis!”--Alexei Kovalev, (Rangers, Penguins, Canadiens) “Like a beach party on ice!”--Jonathan Richman
