Began touring in support of The Harsh Light of Day

In October 2000, Fastball began touring in support of The Harsh Light of Day in Amsterdam . Despite the slowed success, the members of the group didn’t regret any of their creative decisions, and their aim remained true. “It makes me feel proud that we’re one of these song-oriented guitar bands” Scalzo told Richard Skanse in Rolling Stone . “I think there’s a couple of bands that are still putting out real good quality guitar rock songs, and I think we’re one of them.”
