Fastbacks - ...And His Orchestra (1987)

The Fastbacks first album recorded between July 1985 - January 1986, and released in 1987. This is the same line up as the previous two and is equally as good.

Kim Warnick - Bass, Vocals
Lulu Gargiulo - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Kurt Bloch - Lead and Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Richard Stuverud - Drums

Fastbacks - Everyday is Saturday (1984)

For Kenny.

The last release on the No Threes label for the Fastbacks. Equally as good as their previous efforts, if you've heard them you know what to expect.

This is the same line up as "five favorites".

Fastbacks - Play Five of their Favorites (1982)

Another mightly No Threes release and another mighty release by the Fastbacks. This is their second and was subsidised by a friend of the band. By now Duff had moved on, maybe to the Fartz or the Veins...I can't remember at the moment and I'm too lazy to walk across the room and look at the vinyl.

Anyway Duff was replaced by Richard Stuverud, who'd stay with the band for quite a long time, in Fastbacks terms, but would be one of the million drummers they had. Richard was one of four primary drummers and you can tell the difference from a "real" drummer and a bassist playing drums from their first release.

With some backing In America from this release could have been a hit. It's a great song and all five tracks are superb.

Fastbacks - It's Your Birthday (1981)

No Threes was a record label I followed religiously as they'd produced so many greats. This release was no exception.

Formed in 1979 by Kurt Bloch (guitarist),Lulu Gargiulo (guitar/vocals) and Kim Warnick (bass/vocals) and a million different drummers, on this release it was Duff McKagan later of Guns & Roses. This release is so good, it's pure pop/punk. They lasted until 2001 before splitting up. Their back catalogue is well worth exploring.

If you download nothing else from this site you need to get this one, it's that good. I never get tired of hearing it...shame I sold my copy to a guy in Japan. On the upside he did pay a small fortune for it :)
