Next on a recent string of awkward dance solos: watch granny get her groove on at the park in Fast Years ' new music video for 'Stolen Love' (streaming below), revealed a few days ago. Three minutes of hip grinding and contortions later, if you're not up for partying yet, there's probably something wrong with you. Hey, she's probably about seventy, and may look like some sweatpants-wearing lunatic out of a Monty Python sketch, but she got moves ! Enjoy. Stolen Love was taken off Fast Years' debut EP 'Women' , which they released in June, the [...]

Yesterday, I put up the video for "Young Heart" by Fast Years. Today, I wanted to put up the track and further encourage you to check these guys out. They just released their debut EP Women a few weeks ago and spent some time touring and hanging out with Howler. The sound is somewhere between garage rock and tightly controlled pop; "Young Heart" is a track that seems to have a zeal for life running underneath, causing it to hum and leap out of the speakers. At it's base, it's a song about [...]

Lets not talk about the fact this year is already half over. Thats just insane. About as insane as the quality of jams that have been pumping through TBE HQ's speakers these past 6 months. Here is the best of the best. Did I miss any? Did you miss any? (Thanks to Vladimir Bobritskiy for the album art.) 25. My Great Ghost - Plain Sight / A pulsating, haunting, and thoroughly beautiful journey. 24. Purity Ring - Obedear / Slightly creepy. Very ominous. Highly infectious. 23.

Brooklyn four-piece Fast Years welcomes the official release of their debut Women EP today with a download via their BANDCAMP . The project formed earlier this year and have been scoring lots of love for their easy-going brand of garage pop jams. They recently landed a slot at this year's 4Knots Festival following a great showing at Northside. Stream the EP here! Women EP by FAST YEARS
The Route One approach works - there may be merit to music being complex and multi-layered, but there are other times when nothing but the most straightforward material will do. It often has much more impact, too - just ask Fast Years [ Twitter / Facebook ]. To put it bluntly, the Brooklyn band don't fuck about. They've only been on the scene for a short while after forming last year, but they've been making a name for themselves with some of the most thrillingly direct indie-pop that I've heard all year. Their six-song debut EP is wonderfully consistent, but [...]
Fast Years - Let Me Try Remember the first time you heard The Drums’ ”Let’s Go Surfing” and you thought, gosh-gee, this is about the most perfect top-down beach-pop song I’ve ever heard in my life? Well, this new single from another Brooklyn band of garage rockers is giving it a run for the money. It doesn’t get much better than this. SUMMER JAM»» Look for their Women debut EP on June 25th.
The Sunday of Northside was not exactly your typical relaxing weekend day. For one, The Deli's showcase at Cameo Gallery was in full swing. The peppy and preppy Spacecamp melded a geeky exterior with a rock interior and penchant for (beautifully performed) dance beats and catchy melodies, while Papertwin 's mellower psychedelic synth vibes enveloped the venue. A scurry to the basement of The Charleston brought me to happy- go-lucky pop rock bunch, Fast Years , who smiled more than any band I've seen (not counting Matt & Kim). A far walk took me to Warsaw, [...]

![Fast Years – Women [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4320036_lg.jpg)
Brooklyn rockers Fast Years will release their debut EP Women on June 25. The EP starts out on a tear with the guitar-driven "Young Heart" which certainly packs a jangly punch. Women then segways nicely into the incredibly hooky surf tune, "Let Me Try". Things mellow out on the next few tracks giving the album a nice flavor. "Fall For Me" is an exceedingly dynamic, but pleasantly tight track where nothing is wasted. The melodies are woven masterfully with a true knack for Pop - something that Fast Years seem to do effortlessly. "Like It Or [...]
Fast Years From: Brooklyn, New York, United States Fast Years are the latest band to poke their heads above the parapet and enter the increasingly crowded sugar coated surf tinged indie pop scene. It's almost impossible to stand out in a market heavily dominated by The Drums, Surfer Blood, Best Coast, Beach House, Surf City, Howler and the rest but the Brooklyn based four piece give it a bloody good go on their debut EP [...]
Brooklyn's Fast Years and their debut single, "Young Heart" intimate the kind of awesomely poor choices made between adolescence and adulthood. This is the brand of rock that suits whipping days of hard living and fatalist romances. This type of love the band prescribes with a general shrug, "Let's fall apart", an edict that seems to operate as general and specific. Broadly, the band's project here is to romanticize and enliven the experiences of the young, an area that certainly needs no romanticizing or enlivening. So, perhaps, the charm of "Young Heart" is in [...]
