About this user

After many reincarnations and reformations, The Focussed Distraction has settled on placing himself in the unique position of a one man band with the aid of a guitar, looper and various effects modules. Drawing on influences as diverse as Elliott Smith to LCD Soundsystem to Death In Vegas, helps him stand out as an utter phenomenon, creating a live scenario of enchanting and unique sounds whilst looping melodic and rhythmic layers. Electronic and acoustic, forward thinking music with D.I.Y. pop sensibilities.

"A surprisingly full sound from this one man and some pedals band -- intriguing samples, solid structure and a nice line in layering vocals and effects." - GILL MILLS (BEST OF MYSPACE)

"Highly distinctive vocals." - TOM ROBINSON (BBC RADIO 6 INTRODUCING)

"There's always something for you to focus on when you listen to his tracks yet you're pleasantly distracted by the beautifully sung lyrics." - http://www.listenbeforeyoubuy.net

"The things this man extorts from loops and effects will inevitably give rise to the formation of the pedal protection register. With mind boggling variations of sound at his disposal and a few high profile shows now under his belt surely 2011 will be the year the world wakes up to the talent of Jon McLeod. A rare bird indeed." - http://www.nofictionclub.co.uk/

"The Focussed Distraction are bringing something new to the table." - www.the-mag.me.uk
