A Seattle band from 1979, known for catchy, energetic songs that never quite broke big but built a loyal following.
If you want to get a feel for them, '3 Boxs' and 'In the Summer' are good places to start. They're just solid, no-fuss songs that hold up.
They were part of that Seattle indie scene, playing live shows that had a reputation for being pretty lively. Songs like '3 Boxs' and 'For Tomorrow' show their knack for straightforward, melodic punk. Their music didn't really break out in a huge commercial way, but it's got a direct, unpretentious pull that still feels fresh.
Fastbacks formed in Seattle in 1979, with Kurt Bloch on guitar and vocals, Kim Warnick on bass and vocals, and Duff McKagan on drums. Their first release was a self-titled EP in 1982, followed by records like 'The Question Is No' in 1985 and 'New Man' in 1991. The lineup shifted at times, with players like Jason Finn and Scott Sutherland coming through, and they called it quits in 1999.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
