Music video

The video was directed by Lee Levin and features [ citation needed ] several misfit people in their day to day jobs with situations where someone frustrates them; like getting rejected by a door bouncer, handing out mail and given an empty coffee cup in an office (realising his job is so unfulfilling), having someone walking through a just cleaned floor, doing a tattoo in an undesired region of a client and having a patron with her young daughter in a roadhouse-style restaurant rejecting served food. After the first chorus, they all lash out in anger. The fans all arrive at the band's performance, turning it into a concert and during the guitar solo, they get into hyper violent moshing, ending up with them all smiling, showing off their bleeding facial cuts by the end.[ citation needed ]

<i>Half Hour of Power</i> 2000 EP by Sum 41

Half Hour of Power is the debut extended play by Canadian rock band Sum 41. It was released on June 27, 2000 on Big Rig Records, a subsidiary of Island Records, and Aquarius Records (Canada). The cover features the band's then-drummer Steve Jocz aiming a Nerf gun up in the air and standing in front of an explosion in the background. Though officially an EP, Half Hour of Power may also be considered the band's debut studio album. Most of the songs featured on the EP were included as bonus tracks on Sum 41's actual debut studio album All Killer No Filler (2001), which featured a re-recorded version of Half Hour of Power's sixth track "Summer". This is the second of three times that this song was featured on a Sum 41 album. It first appeared on their 1998 demo tape. The group originally planned to include different versions of the song on each of their albums as a joke, but scrapped the idea after All Killer No Filler, as they felt that it would annoy their fanbase.
