A lively synth punk combo whose songs range from lo-fi camp to post-punk cool, Distractor formed in Orange County, California in 2015. Friends Glen Christensen and Will Sipos conceived the band in their Costa Mesa garage, making low-budget D.I.Y. videos and recording the fun, catchy tunes that would make up their self-released debut, Devotion. After a summer of playing local shows and recording a follow-up album, Christensen was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in October of that year at the age of 25. Heartbroken, Sipos and fellow members Ronnie Dunmore and Colin McKibbin disbanded Distractor and moved on to another project, Blue Flowers, helmed by another friend, Levi Prairie. By 2017, Sipos was convinced to give Distractor another go and, along with Dunmore, McKibbin, Prairie, and newcomer Sean Campos, set about recording a handful of new songs and completing the band's abandoned second album. Signing with Burger Records, Distractor found new life and released their follow-up, This Time I Got It Figured Out, in 2018. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
