Very, Very Powerful Motor is the second studio album by the Fastbacks, released in 1990 on PopLlama Records.

[3] The second track, "Apologies," is a cover of a Pointed Sticks song.

Trouser Press wrote that the album "gives Bloch’s pop-rooted songs rocking arrangements that occasionally overwhelm them.

"[4] All songs written by Kurt Bloch, except where noted.
