1. *Asterisk by ORANGE RANGE - There's quite a few Japanese international players on the team and most of us still give weird looks to Captain Dayudie's taste sometimes. Nah, we're all for it.

2. Smoke and Mirrors by Kikagaku Moyo - Surprisingly with all the flair that Andrei has, he's got quite a few layers to him. Knows this guy named shroomie who's just been dishing our recommendations to everybody on the team.

3. Doomsday by MF DOOM - Collaborated choice by the mad scientist Rintarou Okabe and the shroomie guy. Maybe there's some sort of hidden message we should be worried about but it's probably fine. Probably.

4. Whip It by Devo - By none other than the other Ass Capt, Steve Harrington. It's alright I guess, a little dated if you ask me.

5. Stranded by Gojira - Personal choice. Nothing like a little oomph to get the blood going before the game.

The British duo Wanesly and Williams came up with the Detroit Falcons pump-up playlist, and here are some of my favourites from that list:

1. AC/DC - Thunderstruck: One of the best songs to get you in a high-energy state. That guitar intro... I could just listen to it over and over again. When the kick drums come in, it feels like your heart beat gets louder when the drums hit. Definitely gets me going before I hit the ice!

2. ABBA - Dancing Queen: I think they snuck this one in there as a joke making fun of my Swedish background, but joke's on them, I actually like it quite a bit! Mama was a big ABBA fan as well, I grew up listening to all the songs, and I know the lyrics by heart. Not that I'd ever let the guys know...

3. Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle: A good metaphor for my arrival in Chicago. Never knew it could be like this... "If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay" - this line especially speaks to me. It is a lot of blood, sweat and tears to grind out the season and play every game. This song speaks to my ambition (and I am sure my team's ambition) to go all the way to the end of Game 7.

4. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic: What a fun song to come down to after the game. Really gets you loose and makes you forget about whatever happened in the game for the day at least. Really catchy tune.

5. Europe - Final Countdown: The song that I love to hear the most before striding out of the locker room. Gives you that final boost, and reminds you that the game is about to happen. Also a guilty pleasure because they're another Swedish band that Mama used to listen to.

1. Toxic by Brittney Spears

The Detroit locker room loves us some Brittney Spears - and no one more than our beloved GM Tig Murphy.

2. Enter Sandman by Metallica

The classic warm up skate hype song, the slow build sets the stage and energy for the team to go. This is my personal pick.

3. Another one Bites the Dust by Queen

Similar to Enter Sandman, AOBTD has a more consistent and subtle hype about it. Our win streak in the earlier part of the season inspired this choice. We maybe got a little too cocky as we had a 5 game losing streak a little later on.

4. Lets Get it Started by The Black Eyed Peas

As an opposite to Another one bites the dust, this was a song introduced to our play list after that 5 game losing streak. We had to get the fellas hyped to get another win and get back on the top of the standings. What better than some classic synthy black eyed peas?

5. Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback

The final song we play before heading out of the locker room is a banger by the best Canadian band to ever exist. The opening guitar riff gets the blood pumping, and the song encapsulates our roll as the league bad boys - a team everyone seems to hate for some reason, but one every player would love to play for

1. Backseat Freestyle - Kendrick Lamar
Because we've got a dream and that dream is to win the cup.

2. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
We like to play the drinking game while listening to this before the games. Hydration is important!

3. Ultralight Beam - Kanye
It's just a solid song and it gets everyone in the right mood to head out there and win.

4. Jeopardy - Run the Jewels
When you hear Killer Mike at the beginning you can't not get pumped up.

5. It's a Small World
Whenever I get control of the music I put this on as an homage to our training camp outing to Disneyland. Everyone else hates it but the best way to get ready to score is to listen to your goal song, right?

The Swedes love this.. for some reason. Unfortunately this song finds itself in the playlist every now and then. I.. I think it's starting to grow on me, eww..

Solid choice.. although I'm partial to DotA and All I Ever Wanted.

Kill The Lights (Audien Remix) - Alex Newell
A huge vibe song, the beat on Newell's track gets the boys pumped up and the bass on the speaker absolutely bumping. A personal favourite tune of Danila Zhernov, the big d-man is a big fan of his EDM tunes. If you keep an eye out, you might even be able to catch him at a couple festivals during the offseason.

Welcome to Chili's - Yung Gravy and bbno$
A little bit of HIspanic flare on the Knights playlist, the catchy new tune released a few weeks ago sneaks it's way into the locker room. Although the song has nothing to do with the classic American restaurant chain, the star spangled members of the Knights are huge fans of this song and go buck wild every time it graces the speakers.

WHATS POPPIN - Jack Harlow
The Louisville rapper released the video for this tracks few weeks ago, directed by Cole Bennett (how are ya), and the Knights were huge fans. Rocco Berni specifically was super into the song, as he's a huge college basketball fan and the song has exactly one (1) mention of the Louisville Cardinals basketball team. Jokes aside, it is a catchy song from an up-and-coming rapper in Jack Harlow.

GATTI - JACKBOYS, Pop Smoke, Travis Scott
Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke is on the up and this collab with Travis Scott is only helping him out. Maybe not so surprisingly, the Kelowna Knights are a big group of hip hop guys, so this song was an obligatory add to the locker room playlist. It really gets the boys in the mood to go out on the ice and lay the body, maybe a smash a few heads in the process. Pop SMoke just has that indescribable quality that gets you in the mood to fight.

Whip It - Devo
Some may call it "dated", but the song is a classic and there's not enough 80s in the playlist as it is.
Déjà Vu - Dave Rodgers
Rin has a weird obsession with this eurobeat music. You usually hear him blasting it from his ancient Corolla. Can't he afford a new car?
We Dem Boyz - Wiz Khalifa
This was Juke's addition to the playlist. Guy's a real team player so this song must speak to him. There's certainly nobody I'd rather have backing me up.
Shotta Flow 3 - NLE Choppa
If you want the freshest songs in the playlist look for Slatter's additions. When Shotta Flow 4 shows up you can bet its gonna be on there.
Clubbed to Death - The Matrix Soundtrack
Andrei basically commandeered the playlist when he arrived. It's probably at least half his additions at this point. One of the most interesting he's included comes straight out of the Matrix soundtrack.
