Acoustic punks Bitters and Distractions recently released ‘The Home That Procrastination Built’ 7" via Sell The Heart Records. Today, we are premiering the video for ‘The Expression Left Your Face,’ featuring Neckscars’ Will Romeo.
“'The Expression Left Your Face' is a reflection of all the dissent in the country,” says Travis Johnides. “So much time is spent defending our own opinions and putting other’s opinions down. We have stopped listening to each other, which is hard to even do over all the noise.”
Bitters and Distractions is an acoustic punk duo from Long Island, New York, consisting of Jeremy Quitko and Johnides. While initially starting as a project where Quitko handed lyrics (which often dealt with his former years in Colorado and the disappearance of a close friend) over to Johnides to bring life in the form of song, the duo eventually began writing and recording together, and receiving too much praise to not expand what they wrote about and make the project an “official” band.
Simply, what Bitters and Distractions offers is proper punk rock done with an acoustic guitar – it’s fierce, to the point, and not soon forgettable.
