Fast Years 'Women EP' Out June 10th July
Brooklyn four-piece Fast Years play a mix of 80's Punk, Surf Pop, and Indie Garage, with influences ranging from The Sonics to The Exploding Hearts and The Vaccines. 'Young Heart' is the single taken from their forthcoming debut EP 'Women'.
- (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2012 - Fast Years all met through mutual friends in the Bushwick music scene. Their debut EP Women was recorded in Brooklyn and was inspired by Charles Bukowski, although the band admit their lyrics are nowhere near as depraved as the prose of Bukowksi.
Many of the songs on the EP were written and rehearsed in a tiny basement storage room and they're currently writing additional songs for a full length record that we hope to record at the end of the year.
Despite 'Young Heart' being their first release, they have already enjoyed support from NME (Radar), Nylon (Good Listener), Q Radio (New to Q), Amazing Radio (Mike Taylor), as well as a slew of online love including Forge Today, This Is Fake DIY, Blah Blah Blah Science, Killing Moon and The Burning Ear, and have crept into Hype Machine's Top 15 Most Popular Tracks list. Here's what people are saying about them:
"The vocal hooks here are an absolute treat, a pleasant surprise". - Glasswerks
"so-catchy-it-hurts" Nylon Mag
"sufficient bark to their garage stomp to merit a listen" NME
"The vocal hooks here are an absolute treat, a pleasant surprise". Glasswerks
"Its Infectious surf pop that;s like an infusion of summer" The 405
"One listen is all it takes for anyone to become a victim of their garage rock sugar coated with surf pop virus" Earmilk
"The track goes near polar-throwback in its tendencies towards nostalgic Garage and Pop. Especially for those letting a renaissance of bands like The Vaccines still sink in" - Blah Blah Blah Science
