FASTWAY Signs European Deal With STEAMHAMMER/SPV

September 5, 2011

FASTWAY, the brainchild of ex-MOTRHEAD 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 MOTRHEAD 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.
