FastBreak gross shirt

By jbil | Published 02/10/2010

This shirt says its from the early 90s with its “natural” colored body and weirdo color scheme but it was made in the late 90s when “fast cars, fast women” came out. I think gross is the only way to describe this shirt. But it did sell tons. Lots of people have this shirt although it seems like everyone wised up and stop wearing it in public. I got mine at a show at a church in boston. I forget the name of it but it was a good show. I wanna say it was the same show that Invasion played and sold their first shirts at too. I cant see this going for crazy money but I was surprised to see there is a couple bids on it already

FastBreak 1997 tour shirt

By jbil | Published 02/09/2010

I dont think I have ever seen this shirt not in XL much like all my Cornerstone shirt :( Kind of a ho-hum design but pretty cool cause Fastbreak didnt have too many(any other??) tour shirts? I think they went on tour with Shutdown on that tour. This was round the release of the TYF split as well. Look how pos they all look on that photo on the back.
Any one have mp3s of the split with TYF they can hook up?

Fastbreak Whenever You’re Ready Rare Tee

By b. murphy | Published 01/05/2010

The coolest thing about this shirt is that it is on black instead of the usual navy blue. Rev dumped a ton of these out (it felt like) on navy. You know I hate navy tees. But this one is a rare BLACK tee. That’s cool.

The rest, not as cool. This album was such a drag. I mean, like the seller, I enjoyed it. But I could only find enjoyment when I told myself it was “another band named Fastbreak.” You know. Like how there were two bands named Outburst. The original was obviously awesome, and the second band was sooooooo bad.

Music Is My Girlfriend. I can hang. But when you see Pat Fastbreak telling people to “get sexy,” the magic is a little lost.

If this stays low enough, I may just scoop it up.

Fastbreak Where It Lies Demo Tape

By b. murphy | Published 12/09/2009

I love this little tape. It’s obviously a time and place piece because the actual contents of the tape are pretty terrible. So terrible that Fastbreak GAVE them away to whoever would take them. They were intended as a pre-cursor to some long delayed vinyl, but the tape mastering wasn’t done so hotly.

I got mine at the Yuletide Jam in Hagerstown, MD. I happened to hit the road for the weekend with Bane. Just a cool little weekend with Bane and Ten Yard Fight. December 1997. It turned out to be one of the coolest weekends ever.

The first gig was in New Hampshire on Friday night. Cold ass gig. Weird show (obviously, it was New Hampshire after all). But a good start to the weekend. Then back to Worcester for hanging.

Next day was a trip to New Brunswick NJ. I bet I’ve told this story a million times, but you’re going to read it again.

We hit up some burrito joint in New Brunswick before the Melody Bar gig. Most everyone was veg or vegan, and most of us were happily enjoying our food. Suddenly, LaCroix gets super upset. He busts over to the cash register and slams his burrito down on the counter. “Is this chicken? You put chicken in my burrito! I’ve been vegetarian for XXX years …” He was going off. He then went to the restroom where he proceeded to throw up the chicken, or so he told us. Good times. Great gig too. Tons of bro moshing. I can clearly recall Ben Cummings, Tre and possibly AJ moshing with their arms around each others shoulders. Great gigging.

That night we drove to DC. Some of the dudes stayed at crazy houses, some of us stayed at Jon Hennessee’s house. Jon’s house was MAD chill. The next day Neumann TRIED to buy a 40oz for his friend’s 40 collection. No go. His out of state id was not accepted. So ridiculous.

The Hagerstown gig was insane. Literally, insane. Best freaking line up. Fastbreak, Bane, Ten Yard Fight, mother fucking Floorpunch, Rain On The Parade … So many excellent bands. This is the gig where Fastbreak handed out most of these tapes. Excellent times.

Fastbreak misspelled shirt

By jbil | Published 11/15/2009

There is really no excuse for this shirt. Spell check DID exist at that time. This is a 2nd ep(where it lies) era shirt. That ep was pressed too slow so fastbreak was bummed but no one else seemed to mind. I used to love a Fastbreak show at that time. Even more I loved a Break Faith show. shootout to the CT Brotherhood circa 94/95
