Back in July of 2005, a group of guys made their first 'mixed tape' and they called it the 'Power Hour Mixtape All-Stars Volume 1.' Over four years later, the group is still putting tracks together at TheseArePowerfulHours.com. If you’re not familiar, a Power Hour is taking a shot of something alcoholic every minute for one hour. These Are Powerful Hours offers several genres of drinking songs, one song for every minute. And to honor the holiest of Christian holidays, the guys have put together something for Christmas.
