Arriving in the midst of summer, “Tearaway” is an energetic slice of punk rock goodness from Cardiff-based singer-songwriter Tom Anthony.

Describing his sound as “rock & roll for grownups”, Anthony’s music is a mature blend of rock, blues, punk, jazz, folk and country, with insightul, poetc lyrics rooted in real world experiences. His major influences include David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Oasis and Ryan Adams, resultng in a unique style that straddles genres, taking in the full history of rock music while keeping an eye firmly fixed on the future.

With the release of “Tearaway”, Tom Anthony aims to connect with fans who love rock music that has something to say, to inspire those with a dream of any kind, and to show that it’s never too late to reconnect with the thing you love. As an independent artist, Anthony is excited to share his musical journey with the world, make great records and put on the best show in town
