Fast Trains Portsmouth, UK
Combining inventive alt pop with a cryptic visual space known as ‘ourWorld’, Fast Trains is the boundary-pushing solo
project of Portsmouth born songwriter Tom Wells.
Backed by BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, their award-winning music is a modern songwriter's take on alternative 80s bands like XTC, Squeeze and Tears For Fears.
This is Fast Trains. Welcome to ourWorld.

Ignorance

A producer friend recommended this to me and I've been obsessed with it lately. Brilliant performances stunningly recorded, I'm still discovering the magic in this album with every listen.

With each album this band get more melodically interesting, building on the raw power of their first records. A fierce live band and fully deserving of their first UK number one album.

Live at the Glad Café 2
by David Latto
I was fortunate enough to play with David in Edinburgh recently and his performance had a quiet intensity to it that I really loved. This live EP captures the criminally underrated songwriter.

Southsea's finest deliver a punchy set of sheer quality on their first LP - all killer, no filler. Every hook and chorus has been honed on stage as they build on their growing live reputation. Fake Empire express real emotion in these deceptively simple and relatable songs of love, loss and longing. Highlight is the casually epic singalong anthem "The Sadness Will Last Forever", which manages to be truly uplifting and heart-breaking at the same time. A must-have.
