LOVED ONES, THE
DISTRACTIONS

Fresh off a year of touring with the likes of The Hold Steady, Flogging Molly, and NOFX in support of their critically acclaimed release, Build and Burn, THE LOVED ONES are back with their latest offering, Distractions. Eager to slake the collective thirst of their rapidly growing fan base, the band utilized what little time they had between tours to compile the 6 song EP. Distractions demonstrates THE LOVED ONES hallmark ability to ride the line between punk rock and Americana through a seamless blending of the two genres. Saturated with unforgettable hooks, rock riffs, contemplative lyrics, and enduring melodies, Distractions showcases all the elements that have driven the band’s meteoric rise through the music scene. In addition to original material, the band also pays homage to a few of their greatest influences by putting their signature twist on songs from Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, and Joe Strummer. Distractions is a sincere and gratifying album that will, no doubt, serve to escalate the incredible wave of momentum THE LOVED ONES are currently riding.
