Fast Romantics are an indie rock band based in Toronto, Ontario and originally formed in Calgary, Alberta. The band’s debut, self-titled LP was a self-recorded effort released in 2009., and later mixed in Vancouver by Mike Fraser, who has also mixed albums by acts such as Franz Ferdinand, Elvis Costello, and Metallica. The band toured Canada twice in 2009 in support of that album, playing festivals like Virgin Fest and NXNE. In June 2016, Fast Romantics won the 2016 SOCAN Songwriting Prize for the song “Julia”, which was voted the best song by emerging artists over the past year.
