Fastbacks, “The Question Is No” (SubPop, 1992; original releases 1980-92)
Pioneering Seattle punk combo’s classic years, in singles. The sound is a clattering melodic rush firmly rooted in the Buzzcocks. The sensibility is a kind of suburban bedroom lyricism that foreshadows Rose Melberg, Frankie Cosmos and many more.
