I Heart the Music: Your Online Source for Live Music Reviews and Interviews in Toronto!

A while ago iheartthemusic featured a Calgary based band called The Fast Romantics that we discovered during Canadian Music Week. They blew our minds with their old school rock sound and we were left with batted breathe for their return to Toronto. Well, these boys are back to showcase their sweet stylings for all you Torontonians once again! Since we last met with them they have garnered HUGE press and were also recently chosen as one of the top four finalists for the SPIN Earth/Varvatos Contest to showcase during New York Fashion week next week!

This is a contest to find the next great rock’n'roll group and judging The Fast Romantics are a panel of rock star judges including fashion designer John Varvatos, Perry Farrell, and Antonio “LA” Reid who will select the winner. And what are they vying for?  The winning band will receive a development deal with Island Records, become the face of the first John Varvatos Star USA ad campaign, and get continued promotion online with SPIN Earth.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for these guys and you should too, or better yet, come out to their show Thursday, September 10th at The Rivoli and see for yourselves what all the hype is about!
