Formed in 1994 in Austin, TX, Fastball combine a fondness for melodic, Beatles-inspired pop with the alternative aesthetic of late-'90s mainstream rock. Guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga, bassist/vocalist Tony Scalzo, and drummer Joe Shuffield -- all veterans of the underground rock scene -- originally banded together under the name Magneto U.S.A., whose music became popular in the Austin region. After signing with Hollywood Records, the musicians changed their name to Fastball (sharing the name with the title of a baseball-themed pornographic film) and released their debut album, Make Your Mama Proud, in 1996.
