about

In 2007 Potbelly signed a contract with Crash Assailant Records for two full-length LPs and one seven-inch EP. ‘Runs Good, Need Work’ was the first record to come out of that deal. It launched Potbelly from a very popular regional band into a national act. For the first time, their records could be purchased from coast to coast. “It’s was an exciting time for Potbelly, it gave us the drive and determination to keep going forward. We have never looked in the rear-view mirror since its release. That was twelve years into our band. We just celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary. We get better with every album. However, we were all very happy and still are with ‘Runs Good, Needs Work.’ It like a vintage bottle of wine that you uncork every other week. Most of all we were excited for our promising future. And today, it couldn’t be any more spectacular than to learn our current label, Pig Records, is going to make it available again as well as our entire back catalog,” comments Ken Bell, Potbelly original member, and songwriter for more than a quarter-century. Now that’s dedication.”

This album contains eleven studio songs and three live tracks as a bonus. Potbelly classics such as “Alcoholicide,” “Revenge of F*ckface The Pig,” and “F*cked Up Again” are amongst them. The group still plays all three live today. And if two ‘F’ bombs are not enough for your ears, the uncensored boys from Whidbey Island included another “F” bomb song for those of you who just can’t get enough. Potbelly also dazzles the listener with a short ballad and an even shorter love song. What more could you ask for? Potbelly, it’s for you!
