In 2009 the crew was complete; Eline St?lan, Jan Tore Varne og Alexander Kl?boe was now part of Fastlane Flower. Already the same year the plans for the debutealbum was made.

Winter 2010 Fastlane Flower went into the doors of Propeller Music Division Stuidos and smelled the divine smell of norwegian music history. With them they had producent Hans A. Hornveth Jansen, and together they made magic.
Autumn 2010 Fastlane Flower signed with the record company Nordic Records and released their debutealbum "Deadline" 24.januar 2011. The album faced good critics in Norway and internationally.
