Guitarist Todd Haug is the head brewer at Surly Brewing Company.

The opening sequence of the track Slaughterhouse was used as the jingle to "MTV At The Movies" in the late 1980s.

Powermad appeared in the David Lynch film Wild at Heart, performing an instrumental part of Slaughterhouse in the rock concert scene where Sailor (Nicholas Cage), his girlfriend Lula (Laura Dern) and some other guests move in hilarious ways to the music. The same part of the song is played on radio during their road trip and this time they just make kick and hit moves. It was also used for the trailer.
