 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Known as "the least ambitious band in rock" for maintaining their day jobs in the face of success, Fastbacks were a Pop Punk group active from 1979 through 2001. Drawing influence from 60's Girl Group pop and 70's Hard Rock, lead guitarist Kurt Bloch, rhythm guitarist/vocalist Lulu Gargiulo, and bassist Kim Warnick took to the Seattle circuit with poor early results. Provincialism reigned in the local rock scene, which spelled trouble for a punk band without a set drummer playing AC/DC covers. The addition of teenage multi-instrumentalist Duff McKagan on drums stabilized the lineup for a time. Fastbacks developed their following and became a draw in the local clubs, despite their reliance on a drummer too young to stay on the premises.McKagan's departure to Guns N' Roses left them without a permanent drummer for a time, but Fastbacks graduated from local favorites to national cult heroes thanks to the early-nineties Grunge explosion and the 1992 Sub Pop-released singles compilation, The Question Is No. With Mike Mussberger now the semi-permanent drummer and the endorsement of grunge heroes Pearl Jam, Fastbacks released their biggest album, New Mansions In Sound in 1996.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2002, Warnick retired ("As much as those songs mean to me, I've just grown tired of having to be a singer in a rock band,") effectively breaking up the band. An odds and ends collection, Truth, Corrosion, and Sour Biscuits followed in 2004, and a one-off 2011 reunion show spawned (for now) one last single - a seventies rock cover, Cheap Trick's "Come On, Come On", this time going over somewhat better with the crowd.Discography:
