Power Ballads is the debut album by Aqueduct. It was recorded by Trent Bell at Bell Labs (Flaming Lips, Starlight Mints) and self-released on February 25, 2003. After releasing the album, frontman David Terry relocated to Seattle, Washington. Twelve hours after Terry's arrival in Seattle, Aqueduct opened for Modest Mouse.[1] Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab For Cutie) subsequently recommended Aqueduct to Barsuk Records, who signed the band and released Pistols at Dawn in 2004.
