Fifteen Minutes Fast

Fifteen Minutes Fast played a few shows in Kansas City before relocating to Tempe, Arizona, but scenesters who caught the group’s original incarnation might find its sound, if not its faces, difficult to recognize. This quintet draws from such beloved defunct area acts as Lushbox and TV Fifty, with drummer Jeff Kritzstein standing out as the only member without KC ties and the sole player without vocal duties. Once a catchy but standard pop-punk outfit, Fifteen Minutes Fast now indulges in enjoyable excess, with four-part harmonies and simultaneous melodies vying for attention. Like a college kid done good, 15MF figures to dazzle its old friends with all it has learned.
