Sunderland-born, alt-rock firebrand Tom A. Smith marks the beginning of this new era with the release of “Fashion” on 25 July via Fiction. Still only twenty-one, he has already dazzled at Glastonbury (twice), BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, BST Hyde Park (invited by Elton John), and opened Leeds Festival to 6,000 fans. He’s toured or shared stages with Catfish & The Bottlemen, The Lathums, The Mysterines, Courteeners, Miles Kane, DMA’s, and more. Viral cover performances have drawn praise from Iman Bowie, Morrissey, Nile Rodgers, Tim Booth and Blossoms, underscoring a talent whose reach already spans generations.

Armed with a relentless work ethic, electrifying live show and now the backing of Fiction Records, Tom A. Smith steps confidently into his next phase, one that begins with the swaggering anthem “Fashion” and promises much more to come.
