The Fastbacks - New Mansions in Sound

The Fastbacks

New Mansions in Sound (1996):  A few years later and they’re a competent, professional grunge-pop band. Ho-hum. Totally generic garage rock by the numbers, nothing to see here, folks. It says something about their songwriting skills that the only song that sticks in my head after two or three spins is a Who cover. By far the best tune on this disc…..and it’s a Keith Moon Who song. That’s not a good sign. **
