​With a sound described as Motown meets Led Zeppelin, Seattle's Fast Nasties inverts traditional blues, infusing over 50 years of musical tradition into a diverse but cohesive soundscape that is unique and fearless in its vision.  

Fronted with the powerful and bluesy lead vocals of Eric Martin and supplemented with the explosive lead guitar lines of Andreas Laursen, Fast Nasties are obsessed with producing a sound loaded to the brim with interweaving musical elements that will satisfy most listeners at face value while offering even greater rewards for those willing to explore its depth.  Despite the often swirling instrumentation, the lyrics keep the music grounded, telling stories that are universal, relatable and speak to our times.

Blues Blast Magazine review of Nouveau Blues:

​"This is an R&B extravaganza as flamboyant as Fourth of July fireworks, featuring clear homages to Santana, Eric Clapton, and other melodic guitar icons. This is also an ensemble blues extravaganza, featuring several instruments strutting their stuff simultaneously. "

The Stranger Magazine on Fast Nasties:
"Fast Nasties make a concerted effort to bring the blues as a genre up to modern standards, with soulful vocals and haunting guitar."
