There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Fastway is a Eurobeat vocalist.

2) Fastway was an ‘eighties metal’ band formed by guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke formerly of Motörhead, and bassist Pete Way formerly of UFO. In 1983 both players had been disgruntled with their own bands and decided to work together in a new outfit. They recruited drummer Jerry Shirley formerly of Humble Pie, and vocalist Dave King and took their name from a combination of the founder-members’ names. However, Way then discovered that he could not escape from his contract with Chrysalis Records and also received a tempting offer to play for Ozzy Osbourne, and abandoned the project, forcing Clarke to steer it alone. Bringing in session bassist Mick Feat, the band then recorded debut album FASTWAY.

A critical and moderate commercial success, with successful touring to promote it (with Alfie Angus on bass), the band then recruited Charlie McCracken as “permanent” bassist and released ALL FIRED UP in the following year. Shirley and McCracken subsequently left and there was a hiatus. In 1986 Clarke then reformed the band, retaining King and recruiting with Shane Carroll (2nd guitar), Paul Reid (bass) and Alan Connor (drums) and this lineup released WAITING FOR THE ROAR. In 1987 they collaborated with the movie TRICK OR TREAT and released a soundtrack from it. Unfortunately both film and soundtrack were poorly received. Nonetheless the band persevered, supporting Ozzy Osbourne in 1988.
