Half Hour of Power is Sum 41's debut EP. Despite it's title, there is only 24 minutes of music on it (there is 6 minutes of dead space to make the album a half hour). It was released on June 27, 2000 on Big Rig Records, a subsidiary of Island Records (US), and Aquarius Records (Canada). On the thanks to section, the band states "This EP Is dedicated in loving memory to the band Closet Monster." The album title is a direct reference to its running time, which is 30 minutes long after the addition of dead space.
