Although it's tantalizing to clod the Austin, Texas triplet Fastball (Miles Zuniga on guitar and vocals, Tony Scalzo on bass and vocals, and Joe Shuffield on drums) in with all the bands that sound similar to the Wallflowers, they're an exception. The triplet originally called themselves Magneto U.S.A. and became popular in the Texas region. After sign language with Hollywood Records, they changed their name to Fastball, and presently later released their 1996 debut Make Your Mama Proud. The album wasn't the immense breakthrough they hoped for, only showed they were a lot with potency. By the time their second album, All the Pain Money Can Buy, was released in early '98, the grouping had improved their sound by incorporating more than pop hooks into their songs, with more than varied (and life-threatening) topic topic and lyrics. The Harsh Light of Day arrived in fall 2000. After four-spot age, a c. H. Best of retrospective (2002's Painting the Corners: The Best of Fastball) and a label switching, Fastball returned with their strongest record to date, 2004's Keep Your Wig On, for Rykodisc.
