Album Notes

Since they began, Shane Barry and the Distractions have been ignoring the disco beat, the 1,2,3,4\'s and spiked guitars of modern music\'s biggest culprits. Instead, they have fashioned their sounds from the golden glare of 1970\'s fm radio.

The original lineup of 4 has expanded to include a brass section with all the moves of the Stax and Motown back catalogue!

RADIO FRICTION, their debut album, with its chocolate-rich production, has taken a year and a half to record. With it\'s surf keyboards and synths, flowing string sections, acapella breaks and brass attacks, it is the glorious sound of a band tuned into a broken radio dial.
