Fast Trains are an alternative band from Portsmouth, England led by songwriter/producer, Tom Wells. A modern take on heroes like XTC, Radiohead and Elbow, their thoughtful yet accessible music has led to international songwriting awards, rousing festival performances, national support tours, and a wealth of radio play from BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing and more.

Since releasing debut album Escape to ourWorld in January 2025, Fast Trains have grown into an electrifying live act, combining their rich, anthemic sound with intense dynamics and crafting moments that live long in the memory.

Undiscovered? Perhaps. Unmissable? Definitely.

It’s time to escape.

// The wait is over. Fast Trains is coming to Spotify. //

Surprise! Very excited to say that finally, the Fast Trains catalogue is coming to Spotify 🙌

Starting THIS FRIDAY, we’ll be releasing one song a week, each and every Friday, until the whole back catalogue is complete.

And not just Spotify. The music will also be available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL… everywhere basically.

It’s been a long journey and a lot of work to get to this point, but now I can’t wait to open the gates to ourWorld that little bit further.

I’ll see you on Friday when we start, at the beginning of course, with ‘Measure by Measure’.

Let’s do this.

With love,
Tom x

// Happy birthday, Fast Trains //

Hey everyone,

Firstly, I’m back! Took a little time off the socials so far this year, but I’m refreshed and ready to go. It’s… *Checks notes* 2023! Yes, right, I knew that.

Secondly, it’s my birthday, which means Fast Trains is 4 years old today! It’s been an amazing experience so far, and looking at the plans for this year and beyond, I can’t wait to crack on.

Wherever you are and whatever you’re up to, I wish you a fantastic year. It’s set to be a great one here in ourWorld.

With love, as always,
Tom x

// Thank you 2022 //

Well that was some year wasn’t it. Amidst all the chaos and changes in the real world, I’ve been even more grateful to have ourWorld to escape to. Thank you for joining me - the support this year has been beyond what I could’ve hoped ❤️

I played a lot of shows in 2022, toured with my heroes and got better at my craft.

We welcomed the ‘ourWorld Volume 2’ EP and a new live EP too.

Most importantly, I got to meet a lot of you, and made some incredible memories. Thank you.

So to close out the year, here’s a new song. It’s called ‘Holly Takes Me Home Again’. It will be on our debut album. We best get recording it.

To 2023 and beyond. Cheers 🥂

With love,
Tom x
