FASTERTAXI is an American musical group from the Detroit area in Michigan. Formed in the Spring of 2012. It has 2 members, Sarah Tilton and Scott Graham. The music has many influences, with rock being the main genre to fit it under. The 2 met at a rehearsal for a cover band in late 2009, where Scott Graham was auditioning as guitarist, and Sarah Tilton was already the band's drummer. The 2 quickly created a tight rhythm sound between the 2 instruments and had many musical styles in common. The 2 talked about writing music of their own to the dismay of the other members in that particular band. They started writing songs and recording demos in Scott's home studio. The band broke up suddenly in February of 2012, leaving more time for Sarah and Scott to write and record music. The concept of playing shows as a 2 piece band was not the original intent, or even playing shows at all. The recording studio was a refreshing departure from the gig schedule they had been busy with playing popular hit songs for the bar and party scene around their hometown. It became apparent of the "full" sound they had, with Sarah's busy-style drumming and Scott's combination of rhythm-lead guitar playing. The search for a bass player was becoming difficult while they spent all their time writing songs and recording them. Neither had aspirations to sing lead vocals, but with encouragement from one another, took on the task. By May 2012 they finished their first album, OUR MUSIC HOUR. It was named simply by the fact that the 15 original songs was an hour in duration. Most of the songs are performed with Sarah singing the vocal, "Impressive considering the amount of percussion going on." States Scott, who adds, "My style is from years of being the only guitar in bands I've played in, and now with no bass, I have more spaces to fill." They both agree that the biggest problem in FASTERTAXI is, "Keeping up with all the new material we are constantly writing."
