Track By Tracks: POWERLÖAD - In The Pocket (2026)

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

SEX, DRUGS, ROCK N’ ROLL.

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Tons of Tail:

Sounds like it’s about lots of chicks, but it’s actually about lots of cocktails. Sounds like ACDC if they sucked.

2. Bad Girls:

Song dedicated to all the badass, strong, independent women we know. Chicks are way cooler than dudes. Sounds kinda like Celtic Frost… if they sucked.

3. The Ballad Of Shit Faced Tony:

We wrote this song about this guy that wouldn’t stop asking people for blow in Toronto, & they called him “Shit Face Tony,” but he was just this little dude in a button-up that looked like he just finished a late class at the college. He got in a motorcycle accident a few months ago & is regrowing his organs. Guy rules. Sounds like Powerload to me, baby!

4. Chains Of Rock n’ Roll:

This song is about rockin’ & livin’ the life of rock n’ roll like how the best in the biz - the Sunset Strip bands of the 80s did it. Sounds like those bands if they had a singer who couldn’t sing & a guitar player who just started playing a few months ago.

5. Stakes Are High (& So Am I):

This song was a tribute to Motorhead lyrically, with the title lifted from the lyrics of an Uncle Ted song. Kinda just once again sounds like Powerload, we throw all the shit we love into a big ‘ol blender & this is what you get.

6. Defenders Of The Eighth:

This song is about smoking weed. I think. Sounds like Inepsy/Motorhead if they sucked.

7. Lapdog Deluxe:

This song was inspired by the line in ZZ Top’s “Under Pressure,” “Flippin’ Out With Great Danes,” because, like, what the fuck does that even mean? & why is this chick flipping out with them? Song sounds like we took a dump in the glam rock junk shop & we mean that in the very best way possible.

8. Drunk In A Taxi Cab:

This song was inspired by that really shitty time you had too much to drink & had to get in a car to go home. When you do this nightly, you have a lot of time to reflect on it. Sounds like Powerload if Powerload sucked!
