September 19, 2000 – The Fastball Album The Harsh Light of Day is Released Through Hollywood Records
“I’m an island, but you’re an ocean, it’s a stormy sea of love and emotion.”
On September 19, 2000, the alternative band Fastball released their third album and final album for Hollywood Records, The Harsh Light of Day. They’d signed with the label in 1996, but soon left after this album due to poor sales, barely matching their previous album that grossed over 1 million copies. Though the album had poor sales, it gained generally favorable reviews from critics. The main single from the album was the song “You’re an Ocean,” which was featured in an episode of the television show Charmed. The album sold 85,000 copies.
