At last, Tokyo’s RAW DISTRACTIONS release their debut LP after a couple of demos and four singles on Hardcore Survives and Pogo 77. RAW DISTRACTIONS have been raised on the catalogue of Beat the System, Clay Records and Riot City. They play lean and hard hitting UK82 punk with some raging guitar work and a guttural vocalist who spits and snarls but never forgetting the hook. It’s instant, raw and unhinged and would sit perfectly next to CHARGED GBH, ONE WAY SYSTEM or THE EXPLOITED but with that Japanese magic dust. This is raw punk but hard and melodic rather than overblown.
