Fast Romantics
Written By William Muir
Fast Romantics are a Toronto-based indie rock band known for their anthemic sound, cinematic songwriting, and emotionally charged performances. Blending Springsteen-style heartland rock with modern indie-pop textures, the band is led by singer-songwriter Matthew Angus, whose lyrics explore love, politics, and the messy beauty of being human. Their breakthrough single “Julia” won the SOCAN Songwriting Prize, and albums like American Love and Pick It Up showcase their ability to be both grand and intimate, all at once.
