Half Hour of Power is Sum 41's debut EP. Despite its title, there are only 24 minutes of music on it, with 5 minutes and 59 seconds of dead space added on. It was released on June 27, 2000 on Big Rig Records, a subsidiary of Island Records (US), and Aquarius Records (Canada).
This is the second of three times that "Summer" appeared on a Sum 41 album, the first being the 1998 demo tape, and the third being All Killer No Filler. The band planned to put the song on each of their albums as a joke, but scrapped the plan after All Killer No Filler. The cover of the album features drummer Steve Jocz in his boxer shorts holding a water gun.
The song "Dave's Possessed Hair/It's What We're All About" was redone as "It's What We're All About" for the Spider Man soundtrack.
