Freshly signed to the iconic Fiction Records (home to The Cure, Tame Impala, and The Mysterines), 21-year-old Tom A. Smith storms into a new era with “Fashion”—a blistering indie rock anthem packed with razor-edged riffs, sharp lyrical jabs, and that gritty vocal fire fans have come to expect.
Co-produced with Barry Hyde (The Futureheads) and mixed by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Yard Act), “Fashion” is a brash, confident statement piece. It crackles with youthful urgency while showing off a more refined, radio-ready evolution in Smith’s sound. This isn’t just a single—it’s a mission statement.
Smith leans into bold guitar work and rhythmic swagger, carving out space for a hook-heavy chorus that feels made for a sweaty festival crowd. If the song’s title nods to surface-level aesthetics, the sound underneath is anything but shallow—“Fashion” is raw, real, and built to last.
With early co-signs from legends like Elton John and Nile Rodgers and festival slots that speak for themselves (Glastonbury, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, BST Hyde Park), Tom A. Smith isn’t just one to watch—he’s one to turn up loud.
