“The triumphant ‘Julia’ could be a lost hit for Elvis Costello and the Attractions. It’s chiming, high-fidelity indie rock with, indeed, an awesome, dirty guitar line throughout that hooked me right away.” – NPR “[Fast Romantics] punch up a new breed of Romanticism with plenty of power pop hooks…Matthew Angus croons, lovelorn, to his heart’s desire with Jarvis Cocker-esque swagger bolstered by the band’s exalting choruses, buzzing guitar licks, chiming keys and pulsing beat.” – KEXP
Toronto’s premier indie-rockers Fast Romantics will release their new Pick It Up LP this Friday, August 7 on Postwar Records. The album has already received accolades spanning American Songwriter to Tower Records PULSE! and today the band unveils the new “Made For You” single/video debuted with COLLiDE. Lead vocalist and songwriter Matthew Angus was Inspired to write this song after successfully defeating his fear of sharks during a trip to Caribbean. “My partner and bandmate Kirty taught me the power of just wading out into an ocean and just looking into the abyss and appreciating it because it was beautiful and it felt good,” shares Angus. “Made for You” is about the magic of sharing your life with someone who is better at living than you are, and being willing to let yourself be inspired to be more like them.”
