The latest track from TMR regular Tom A. Smith is the fantastic ‘Little Bits’. It’s an endlessly catchy track that puts Tom and his tight guitar front and centre. Speaking on the track’s music video, Smith says: “I wanted to show what Sunderland had to offer so filming at two music venues The Fire Station and local grassroots venue Independent was really important to me. I think we've captured a load of the energy of a live performance too.” It’s a well-shot video, isolating the vocalist on the centre of both stages, with a warm light shining down on him as he alternates between an energetic performance, and some quite personal stares directly down the camera lens. We think he has a big year ahead. -Dan Peeke
