Reissue of the album ‘Fast Cars, Fast Women’ by Fastbreak with bonus tracks

Released in 1998, Fast Cars, Fast Women is the debut album from Fastbreak, blending anthemic hardcore with melodic youth crew influences. Recorded at Salad Days, the album features fast riffs, catchy choruses, and positive, straight-edge themes of loyalty and friendship. Recently remastered by Jack Shirley, the album retains its raw energy while benefiting from a cleaner, more polished sound. It helped solidify Fastbreak’s place in the late ’90s hardcore scene and remains a fan favorite.

Fastbreak is the kind of band that makes you want to jump into the pit and scream along. Their music is pure, fast, straight-edge hardcore, but with a melodic twist that gives it staying power.
— Alternative Press (1998)
With their debut album Fast Cars, Fast Women, Fastbreak brings an explosive blend of old-school youth crew energy and new-school melody. This is hardcore that will make you feel good, but also make you think about loyalty, strength, and what it means to be a part of something bigger.
— Maximum RocknRoll (1998)
Fastbreak blends fast, aggressive hardcore with melodic, sing-along moments, creating a sound that captures the best of both worlds. They manage to be intense and emotional, with a message that resonates far beyond the pit.
— Punknews.org (1999)
Though not as widely recognized as some of their contemporaries, Fastbreak’s Fast Cars, Fast Women has become a hidden gem of the late ’90s hardcore scene. With fast-paced riffs, catchy choruses, and a relentless straight-edge message, this album remains an essential listen for fans of youthful, energetic hardcore.”
