Fast Trains

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.

Since its beginnings in 2019, Fast Trains has been championed by BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, and has won awards for both its songwriting and visual content. Fiercely independent, Wells’ self-produced, self-released music has been widely praised for its modern take on alternative 80s bands like XTC, Squeeze and Tears For Fears.

Live, Wells shifts Fast Trains from intimate solo performances to energetic full band shows, tailoring the experience to each occasion. In 2022 they completed their first UK headline tour before hitting the road as main support for Turin Brakes.

Fast Trains are currently recording their debut album, expected for release in 2024.
