Austin, Texas trio Fastball combine a love of melodic, Beatles-inspired pop with the angular sound and dry wit of the alternative aesthetic of late-'90s mainstream rock. They landed a major hit single with "The Way" from 1998's All the Pain Money Can Buy, which defined them for casual observers, but the power pop side of their approach came to the forefront on 2004's Adam Schlesinger-produced Keep Your Wig On. The group explored the issues of ongoing maturity on 2019's The Help Machine (produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos), and 2024's Sonic Ranch gave them a chance to work with longtime friend and touring partner David Garza.
