In episode #137 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets fast-rising Sunderland artist Tom A. Smith to discuss his latest release EP3.

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; he 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. He has played live with local hero Sam Fender and Catfish & The Bottlemen and supported other Northern acts on the rise, like The Lathums and The Mysterines.

In this interview, Tom A Smith talks about EP3, songwriting with Miles Kane, performing at Glastonbury, guilty pleasures, and lots more. Check out the article on XS Noize - https://www.xsnoize.com/interview-ris...
