Far from being a band, distraction4ever consolidates itself as a movement that makes music an effective tool to transmit messages that reflect the current social and political landscape. Embodying the spirit of rebellion and defiance that punk was built on, the duo behind the tracks Fireball, nouvelle vie, and bla bla bla now release their latest genre-bending single, you’re an actor. And that's not all, they are also announcing the release of their upcoming album business core this October 4.
Taking a deep dive into the stereotypical mundane lifestyle, their brand-new thought-provoking single is a battle cry for anyone who's ever felt trapped in the monotony of the daily hustle, compelled to play a role just to fit into a system that barely acknowledges their existence. “This song is about becoming someone else to blend into a crowd (the mass) that forgets your name, being controlled to work a 9 to 5, it's about becoming an actor in your own life,” shared the French-Canadian, Montreal post-punk band a few days ago on their social media when announcing the release of their new single that comes along by a music video.
This is the opening track of distraction4ever's upcoming album and welcomes us to their new project that promises not to leave anyone indifferent. With searing lyrics and a relentless beat, the track paints a vivid picture of a world where names are forgotten, and personalities are flattened into uniformity, proving that the band has a lot to say through music and nothing and no one will stop them in their mission.
