Work of Saws was formed, inadvertently, in Minneapolis in the Spring of 1999 out of a stockpile of loose home recordings by singer/songwriter Brock Davis. Eventually bringing in pianist/bass player Dave Salmela, guitarist Kurt Froehlich and drummer Shawn Grider, Work of Saws built a buzz throughout the Twin Cities with their addictive melodies, visually driven lyrics and extremely short, to-the-point songs.

Work of Saws was formed, inadvertently, in Minneapolis in the Spring of 1999 out of a stockpile of loose home recordings by singer/songwriter Brock Davis. Eventually bringing in pianist/bass player Dave Salmela, guitarist Kurt Froehlich and drummer Shawn Grider, Work of Saws built a buzz throughout the Twin Cities with their addictive melodies, visually driven lyrics and extremely short, to-the-point songs. Work of Saws self-released two albums in two years, the 44-track Motivation and Watertower Grammar (2001) and The Pious Flats (2002), both of which received critical acclaim from the local and national indie underground. In 2002 they played the CMJ Music Marathon in New York and then took a hiatus for the next 3 years. Currently, the band is working on their third record - a double album - which hasn't yet got a scheduled release date.
