The Fast "Best Of The Fast: 76-84"





Of all the Rock n Roll stories (n)ever told, you'd be hard pressed to find one with as many twists, turns, triumphs and tragedies as the tale of the Zone Brothers. As The Fast (and later as Man 2 Man), they negotiated the New York underground from the early 70's to the late 80's, managing to remain obscure despite talent, breaks, friends in high places and what for a long time seemed like invincibility. The brothers journeyed from Glitter to Glam to Power Pop to Punk to New Wave to Metal to Goth to Electro and finally to HI-NRG Disco, but it was the music world's labels that were changing, the family kept their vision of "Pop-ism" pure. If there's any one thing that this story of the Zones reeks of, it's uber-perseverance, a spirit of never giving up...even when you perhaps should. But it's also a tale of fraternal bonds, pride to the point of hubris, and finding humor in the face of adversity.
