Fast-rising Sunderland artist Tom A. Smith follows up his highly-praised EP2 from earlier this year captivating new effort ‘Like You Do’.
Co-written with Miles Kane and co-produced by Miles Kane, Oscar Robertson and Dave Bardon, ‘Like You Do’ sees the artist continue his pursuit of broad and anthemic indie-rock offerings that showcase his incredibly passionate approach to song writing. Filled with raw and driven guitar hooks, imbedded within a swaggering groove throughout, his newest release sees him enter a whole new phase within his career so far.
Adding about ‘Like You Do’, he said, “Working with Miles Kane was the most incredible experience. I already had the bones of a good tune that I’d been playing live solo over the last few tours. He added this incredible soaring chorus and suddenly it turned into a song from a Tarantino movie soundtrack. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done and I’ve never felt prouder of anything. I’m really excited for the world to hear it because it already sounds like a classic to me!”

Despite still being a teenager, Sunderland-based newcomer Tom A. Smith has already achieved more than most artists do in a lifetime. He played his first ever gig aged just eight, supporting local psychedelic rockers Detroit Social Club at legendary Newcastle venue The Cluny, performed at Glastonbury before he was even in secondary school, and Tim Burgess handpicked him to play his stage at Kendal Calling, making him the festival’s youngest ever performer.
