"One of the reasons I love doing this show is being the first to discover and play music like that, I expect were going to hear a lot more from that song(Last Stand) and Distractors in general." Phantom FM.

"(They) disappeared into the studio to create an arsenal of catchy indie songs.Already their energetic set has brought them to the attention of fans from various quarters...they've also put a memorable performance at this year's IMRO showcase tour." The Star

"Irish band Distractors have a hit on their hands with the release of their debut single" Sunday World

"A relentless gigging schedule has won them influential local admirers......For those who'd forgotten what the kinetic rush of pure rock and roll feels like,Distractors are here to remind you what you've been missing." Metro

“Catch them while you can as I fear it will not be long before the hedonistic world of touring and musical excess beckons this talented quartet” Hotpress
