FASTBACKS – For WHAT reason!

„After a lull of 25 years, the old band got together and made an album! And you know what? It turned out pretty great. Everyone played and sang their hearts out, just like the olden days. Fun and loud and proud!“ Fastbacks. The FASTBACKS have a special place in the heart of Bachelor Records. There is a small list of bands / people we dreamt of working with / releasing records with when we started this semi-professional record label, and when we got the ok to release the live LP of a 1986 show in their hometown, we were in a shock state! It was just too good to be true! It’s just funny because if you discuss stuff with newcomer bands, young lads, it is often super complicated and a downer, but this (in our eyes) superstar Kurt Bloch is the kindest guy you can think of. Anyways, when we found out that they recorded a new album which they wanted to release in an edition of just 500 copies at their own No Threes imprint, we jumped on the wagon and asked to do a european pressing, and tahtah! Here it is! Pure Fastbacks Pop Punk taking takes you back to the good days, late 80s / early 90s, when life was fun, music was fresh, you could discover new bands every other week by just going to a record store, skipping classes at college / university, and procrastinate with your walkman / boombox in the park. Listen to the album! It sounds like nothing really has happened in the last 25-30 years…. FASTBACKS FOREVER! Or as a band called THE SUBJUNCTIVES put it in a song…. „The Fastbacks Are the Greatest Band in History, So Fuck YOU!“ Lacquer cut by Dave / Lucky Lacquers, artwork and recordings by the band members themselves.
