FASTWAY Signs European Deal With STEAMHAMMER/SPV - Sep. 5, 2011
FASTWAY, the brainchild of ex-MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke, has inked a European deal with Steamhammer/SPV. The band's first studio album since 1990, "Eat Dog Eat", will be released on November 14 (three days earlier in Germany). The CD, which features new vocalist Toby Jepson (ex-LITTLE ANGELS), is described by Clarke as "by far the best thing I have done since the first FASTWAY album. This is classic rock at its best!"

Commented Olly Hahn, A&R representative at Steamhammer: "It`s an honor to have Fast Eddie Clarke and his band on our label. He was THE guitar player in MOTÖRHEAD but also with FASTWAY he delivered awesome music. With 'Eat Dog Eat' he's definitely back... probably better than ever!"

Formed in 1983, FASTWAY's self-titled debut album entered the U.K. charts at No. 43 and received very good reviews. One year later, "All Fired Up" was released and was a great success, thanks in no small part to high-profile support tours in the U.S. with SCORPIONS and RUSH. In 1985 "Waiting For The Roar" saw the light of day and was followed by dates with AC/DC on the "Fly On The Wall" tour. In 1986 FASTWAY wrote the soundtrack to the horror movie "Trick Or Treat" starring Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.

After 1986, FASTWAY released two more studio albums with a different lineup and issued several live and best-of LPs.

01. Deliver Me (4:41)
02. Fade Out (4:05)
03. Leave The Light On (3:55)
04. Loving Fool (4:30)
05. Dead And Gone (5:49)
06. Sick As A Dog (3:44)
07. Freedom Song (3:52)
08. Do You Believe (4:04)
09. Love I Need (4:37)
10. On And On (3:53)
11. Only If You Want It (4:06)

probably my favorite Fastway album. It certainly is the one that I played the most.

I got this last week thinking," Lynch probably wasted my $$ ", but no, this LP cooks, so I bought Bad Bad Girrls, another good one, good call Lynch !!

glad you liked it. I haven't listened to it in a few years but I have lots of good memories connected to that album.


Hard to believe that the lead singer from Fastway ended up in Flogging Molly.

I have this album and it is good, remember the film

I'm looking forward to hearing the new album. I've never heard of this band, and that is exactly what I look for at CRF.... those "unknown" to me.

My first taste of this band on YT...

LL: here are a couple of tracks from that Trick or Treat album/soundtrack

Stand Up




Trick or Treat





Don't Stop The Fight




(thought we had a Fastway thread somewhere, but we don't. I'm not a big enough fan to start one, but I could definitely add to one if someone fired one up.)

Thanks Lynch. Will listen when I get home!

I can't figure out why I really LIKE this song off Bad Bad Girls

Moved your post here Mike. If they're all over the place it will be harder to keep track of this news.
