1990: "In the Summer", The Fastbacks

A timely seasonal ditty from the vastly underrated Fastbacks. One of the earliest Seattle indie rock bands, the 'backs formed in 1979, recording sporadically throughout the 80s, going through one revolving door lineup after another, before settling into a prolific groove for the duration of the 90s. The band broke up in 2001 with singer/bassist Kim Warnick leaving to co-found Visqueen. Guitarist Kurt Bloch has primarily focused on production work since the group's demise.
