Our Take

The Fastbacks are back, baby, and they're bringing the noise on their 1985 album "Okay" (White Vinyl). This reissue of their classic record is a must-have for any self-respecting music lover with an affinity for catchy hooks and punk rock energy.

From the first blistering track to the last, the Fastbacks prove why they've remained a staple in the indie music scene for over three decades. They effortlessly blend grungy guitar riffs with infectious melodies, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

Lead singer Kurt Bloch's vocals are raw and unapologetic, perfectly complementing the band's edgy instrumentation. Tracks like "In The Summer", "Was Late" and "Fast Friends" showcase the Fastbacks' ability to deliver anthemic choruses that will have you singing along in no time.

But it's not all just power chords and punk rock attitude. The Fastbacks also display a more introspective side on tracks like "Too Late", where they delve into themes of heartbreak and longing with a vulnerability that's both surprising and endearing.

Overall, "Okay" (White Vinyl) is a raucous and exhilarating ride from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard Fastbacks fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave you feeling energized and ready to rock out. So crank up the volume, grab your air guitar, and let the Fastbacks show you how it's done. Cheers to that!
