Restarts are from the UK. Animale is a hardcore punk and metal band from New York City. Two Man Advantage is a hockey themed punk rock group from Long Island. Their shows are very wild as they will dress up and basically put on a Mock hockey game on-stage. Their songs are very fast and are almost always about either hockey or beer. The band acheived some degree of notoriety in 2004 for their legal entanglements with the Zamboni company over the song 'Zamboni Driving Maniac.' Hailing from Oakland, Instant A**hole is four piece punk hardcore rock band.
