FAST CARS -Well...You Started It! CD (Detour 50) 11 tracks

H2D: Way too pop-conscious and snotty/punky for Messthetics #106, but these guys were charter-members of the MMC and beloved by sibling bands of all stripes... Their earlier Detour CD "Coming...Ready or Not!" is sold out, but here's eleven more tracks in the same spirit.

Detour: These four musicians from Swinton, Manchester have come up with the goods again! Fast Cars were one of the most underrated bands from the Manchester scene in the late 70's. They played with XTC, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, The Rezillos and supported The Jam. Their brilliant debut single 'The Kids Just Wanna Dance' picked up daytime Radio One play and they were almost signed by The Jam’s A&R man at Polydor. This new album features classic tracks from the 70s that were lost in time and now re-recorded but with the same old passion alongside new tracks that will become anthems in their own rights! $12
