IN A rather stunning co-incidence, Aussie rock heroes Airbourne and The Lazys have each had recent songs featured in epic National Hockey League video packages by Canadian broadcaster SportsNet.
One day the NSW Central Coast legends The Lazys were trumpeting a “Too Tough To Die” as the soundtrack to a cinematic package promoting Stanley Cup coverage – the next Warrnambool’s finest Airbourne were posting about “Gutsy” getting the same treatment.
The Lazys posted: “Last night our new single ‘Too Tough To Die blasted across Canada during Game 4 of the Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild 2026 Stanley Cup Series on Sportsnet/CBC. Who caught it live? Huge thanks to the team at Sportsnet once again for the support!”
And Airbourne said: “Gettin’ GUTSY with Sportsnet and NHL!! MEGA thanks for rockin’ our track!”
“To Tough To Die” was recently the sixth most-played song on the UK’s most famous rock station, Planet Rock. “Gutsy” was the first single from the upcoming self-titled Airbourne album, and was followed by “Last Plane Out (Alive After Death)”.
The Lazys are touring Europe in September; Airbourne have an extensive tour from late June through August and their album is out on August 28,
