powertools story
our first effort at a full length album saw the rehashing of many of our
older songs from our first two seven inches. we re-recorded some songs and
simply put the extant recordings of 'knives, guns, and ammo' into
the mix. this became a pattern that was hard to break, as we wanted to put
our favorite songs on our full length albums, yet many had already appeared
on seven inches and comps. alright, so get over it, some of our songs appear
on many of our various releases. power tools in many ways is our most diverse
and our most representative album, starting with speedy pop punk and going
on to some harder-edged 'emo' songs. my favorites are probably 'no thoughts'
and 'sixty-seven cents' but the best thing about the album is that there's a
song on there for everyone, even a go-gos cover. if you can find it, buy it,
the label (justice) went out of business. -scott
