Jumpstarted Plowhards is an alternative rock band featuring Mike Watt (The Minutemen, fIREHOSE) and Todd Congelliere (F.Y.P, Toys That Kill).2

Watt and Congelliere did an I-5 tour together3 and afterwards Watt asked Congelliere to do a project with him.3

Their debut album, Round One, was released by Recess Records on October 4, 2019.4 Watt wrote fifteen tracks on bass to a click track5 and sent them to Congelliere who added guitars and vocals.6 Congelliere felt that a fifteen track album would be overly long3 so it was split into two albums worth of songs.7

Round One features a different drummer on each track4 such as Hole drummer Patty Schemel,7 Jimmy Felix (Toys That Kill),5 and Watt's other musical partners George Hurley,5 Jerry Trebotic,5 Raul Morales1 and Nick Aguilar.8 Four more albums are planned1 with live gigs after the albums are all released.39
