A Modern Day Distraction, By: Jake Bugg - Model Number: 19802819992

Description 

Produced by Metrophonic at Metrophonic Studios in London, Jake returns to his roots on the rock-driven A Modern Day Distraction “ a record that turns up the noise while shining a light on the injustice he™s seen dealt to the family and friends he grew up with. Fiery and engaged, the record was born out of a frustration of societal inequality. Bugg found that a time had come when he just couldn™t look away. œPeople might say ˜What do you know?™ or ˜Just stick to music™. I™ve got a bit of money, but we all know the people this affects. I was just writing it because it was the way I felt. It pisses me off “ especially in a country like ours where we have the means and funds to take care of the people suffering the most, but we choose not to.

Now 12 years and six albums since he emerged with his streetwise and spritely, Mercury-nominated, chart-topping, self-titled debut, one might forget he was just 18 at the time. He™s put in the hours and achieved so much, but he™s only 30 and still seeing the front rows of his shows getting younger.

In that spirit, Bugg still feels his best work is ahead of him: œYou just have to put your songs out into the universe and hope for the best"
