Triple Fast Action was one of many Chicago area acts signed to Capitol Records during the multi-year label frenzy that also snatched up the Smashing Pumpkins, Fig Dish, Loud Lucy, Veruca Salt, Red Red Meat, Certain Distant Suns, Liz Phair, The Lupins, Hum, Seam, Menthol, Urge Overkill, Stabbing Westward, Cupcakes and Local H, among others. The band supported such notable acts as Everclear, Lenny Kravitz, The Wallflowers and Veruca Salt over the course of its existence. The band's first release, "Broadcaster", was often referred to as "Cheap Trick meets Nirvana" and featured power-pop two-toned guitar crunch and a stunning power backbeat. The album sold poorly due to limited label support and despite lengthy touring across the U.S.
The group left Capitol and signed with the then-NY-based indie label of John Szuch's (now based in Charlotte, NC) Deep Elm Records (Nada Surf, Brandtson, Pave the Rocket and Camber)to release the critically acclaimed "Cattlemen Don't". The first single, "Heroes" received some college radio airplay and won several nights of local WKQX FM's battle of the songs. A farewell concert was performed at Chicago's Metro on May 24, 1998.
Notable fans of the band include Dave Grohl of Nirvana/Foo Fighters, who interestingly lists a show of Rights of the Accused as his first concert. Grohl and fellow Foo Fighters listened repeatedly to the band's "Broadcaster" during the recording of their release "The Colour and the Shape". Wes Kidd made several demos available to fans and friends via home-burned CD. DVDs of the final show as well as the limited edition vinyl tri-disc version of "Broadcaster" often surface on internet-based auction sites.

I Want To Know
Triple Fast Action Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the girlfriends. superstars. contracts. tarot cards.
'Cause I want to know. what the future holds. won't you let me know.
'Cause I got to know. and just let me know. cause I want to know.
I want to know what the teachers know. I want to hold what the future holds.
I want to dream what the dreamers dream. and then scream about everything.
'Cause I want to know. what the future holds. won't you let me know.
But won't you let me know now. I want to know about it all.
And everything it might involve. with the bar scenes. mishaps.
Boy scouts. and hand claps. I want to go where the heroes go.
Just take a look inside my soul. and let me know if it's already been sold.
Won't you let me know now. I want to go where the heroes go.
I want to know what the teachers know. and I want you just to tell me.
If this is really how it's gonna be
