...And His Orchestra

Released

While the Fastbacks had been releasing singles and EPs since 1981 it wasn’t until 1987 that they released their debut album …And His Orchestra, a slambang collection of punk/pop thrashers with girl group elan. Kim Warnick and Lulu Garguiolo’s vocals just do the business for Kurt Bloch’s songs, not to mention a blazing cover of Sweet’s “Set Me Free,” and their combined playing along with Richard Stuverud’s drumming is just a perfect rock and roll party start to stop. Other standouts include “The Light’s On You,” “K Street” and Stuverud’s “You Will Be The One.”
