If you try looking up Watertown, Massachusetts on most maps, the chances you would come up empty handed are pretty good. Watertown may be small, but is home to a band whose talent and heart would be hard to fit inside the entire state of Texas. Fastlane has been forging ahead since 1998, blending unique, heartfelt vocals with powerful, tight musicianship. Musicianship? In a punk band, you say? That’s what Fastlane is all about. More cerebral than most of their punk contemporaries and more catchy than the “emo” hybrid bands, Fastlane has definitely found a great niche in a genre full of unoriginal material. Fastlane’s debut album, Hold Your Breath, is now the “bread and butter” of the Aggravated Music catalog, and that’s just the way we like it.
