Fresh off a year touring with the likes of The Hold Steady, Flogging Molly and NOFX, The Loved Ones are eager to slake the collective thirst of their rapidly growing fan base with "Distractions," which rides the line between punk rock and Americana, saturating their music with unforgettable hooks, rock riffs, completive lyrics and enduring melodies. In addition to original material, they also pay homage to a few of their influences by offering covers of classic songs by Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg and Joe Strummer. Now available on vinyl. Vinyl version includes a download card good for one free download of the album in MP3 format.
