Slapshot - Chip On My Shoulder May 2026

First widely circulated on the 1988 album Step On It and the 1990 album Sudden Death Overtime (as a live track), "Chip on My Shoulder" encapsulates the band’s raw, confrontational style.

"Chip on My Shoulder" is both a cornerstone track for the Boston hardcore legends and the title of their 2009 career-spanning documentary. Originally appearing as a high-intensity anthem on their early releases, the phrase has come to define the band's aggressive, blue-collar ethos and their uncompromising role in the "Second Wave" of Boston hardcore.
