Fastbreak Where It Lies Demo Tape
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 […]
One King Down Basketball Jersey
Here’s my One King Down story. My girlfriend in high school had a very strict father. She was a junior, I was a senior. When prom came around, he refused to let her go with an older guy. No big deal to me because One King Down was playing at Zootz that night. Yeap. I […]
