Fiction Records, now part of the Virgin Music Group, is thrilled to welcome Tom A. Smith to its storied roster. The Sunderland-born, alt-rock firebrand marks the beginning of this new era with the release of “Fashion” on 30 July via Fiction.
Jim Chancellor (Fiction Records): “So, so happy to have Tom sign to the new-look Fiction. He’s been grafting his whole life at his craft. Having kept a close eye on him, the time is now for sir Tom. Fiction is honoured to be part of his next chapter.”
Tom A. Smith: “Signing to Fiction is incredible. So many of my influences came through this label and I feel that connection already. It’s a real honour, and ‘Fashion’ feels like the perfect way to kick off this new era.”
Co-produced with Barry Hyde and mixed by Ali Chant, “Fashion” bursts with urgent guitars, razor-sharp hooks and Smith’s unmistakable vocal grit. “I’m really excited for everyone to hear what we’ve created,” Tom says. “It’s become a staple of the live set and points the way to our new sound.”
To celebrate the release, Tom A. Smith will also embark on a string of live performances later this year. See below for the full list of confirmed appearances.
