Win Lose Or Both (Popllama)

by Veronika Kalmar (from The Rocket 2/25/98)

This nice little nugget from Seattle's Fastbacks contains four tunes guaranteed to make you bop around your home with happy abandon--unless you listen to the lyrics, that is.

"So Wrong" charms by following hardcore thrash with melodic musing of true love and finding "the one," while "Book of Revelations" has touches of quirky guitar which poke respectful fun at anthemic riffs. If you've got a hankering for good, '80s-style pop, this four-song EP provides a fix. If you want the full Fastbacks live experience, spin the nine bonus tracks. They show this Northwest legend at its best--in front of a crowd.

(Webmaster Note: 'Book of Revelation' is the actual title of the song).
