(HW) Fastball will join Barenaked Ladies on the Last Summer On Earth 2025 tour that will also feature Sugar Ray and Guster. On its multi platinum album All the Pain Money Can Buy, the band enjoyed a massive boost to its success and history when its track "The Way" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Modern Rock chart and remained there for seven weeks. The song was voted by VH1 as one of its "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s."
Fastball is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga, bassist/vocalist Tony Scalzo and Joey Shuffield. Their most recent recording and ninth album Sonic Ranch was released last year by Sunset Blvd. Records. Media accolades include the Austin Chronicle which called the record "...brilliant rock & roll that could be the band's most cohesive and musically mature album to date" and asserted that "Sonic Ranch proves that good music is always good no matter how much time passes." The Big Takeover noted that "With an abundance of charisma and hooks, and a beautiful flow from beginning to end, SR makes a strong case as the best album of Fastball's long and distinguished career."
Fastball's latest album Sonic Ranch will be celebrated with a deluxe digital edition, adding ten bonus tracks to the original album. The bonus set kicks off with a new Bob Clearmountain sired version of the album's political centerpiece "America." Also included on the collection is a rousing version of "California Man," The Move-penned track made famous by Cheap Trick.
