“Louise Distras”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Louise Distras released her first download single 'The Hand You Hold' on International Women's Day 2012, picking up media attention from BBC Radio 1, Rodney on the ROQ, The Independent and The Guardian after being vocal in the campaign to release Pussy Riot.

In 2013, Distras played the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury Festival under the invitation of Billy Bragg, and self released her debut full-length album 'Dreams from the Factory Floor' to critical acclaim. Produced by Steve Whale of The Business and featuring Mick Talbot of Style Council the album balances propulsive, old-school punk anthems and assertive, socially-aware folk-punk. Music journalist John Robb called her "the most important protest singer we have" in an article on the Louder Than War website. Immediately after the release, she embarked on a Canadian and European tour. On the anniversary of Joe Strummer's birthday, she returned to the UK to perform alongside Mick Jones (The Clash) and Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) at London's Coronet Theatre to raise funds for the London Fire Brigade in Joe Strummer's memory

In 2015, 'Dreams from the Factory Floor' was officially released worldwide via the American independent label Pirates Press Records. She auctioned the test pressings on eBay and donated the funds to California non profit human rights organisation Justice Now. In the summer of 2015, she then embarked on a UK, EU and USA tour and support the Buzzcocks and The Damned on their UK tours.

Following the release of her debut LP, Distras released hard-hitting new single 'Aileen' as an appetite-whetter for her forthcoming sophomore album. Driven by Distras’s hooky guitar melody and heated, hoarse-throated howl, 'Aileen' blends a 60s British Invasion girl-group sound with more

contemporary, crunchy Power pop. The track received airplay on BBC Radio 1 Radio X and KROQ. The track also featured on the Hugs for Chelsea online benefit album for whistleblower Chelsea Manning. The compilation premiered on Rolling Stone, it also included tracks from Tom Morello, Thurston Moore and Against Me.

In 2017 Distras performed at Glastonbury Festival and announced that she had started recording on her sophomore album with plans to release new music in 2018.

In 2018 Louise Distras released 'Land of Dope and Glory' and announced she is working on her sophomore album in Oakland California with producer Ross Petersen (Bruce Springsteen, Goo Goo Dolls) and Steve Whale of The Business.

Distras returned in 2019 with the 'Street Revolution EP' saying "This collection of songs is a small taste of what to expect from the upcoming album, coming soon."

Upon its release, Street Revolution peaked at #10 on the iTunes singer-songwriter album chart and received critical acclaim from the likes of Kerrang

who said "Louise Distras has the kind of voice that could charm the paint from a car".

The rallying title-track was immediately championed at Radio X being made John Kennedy’s ‘X-posure Hot One’ as well as

airplay support from BBC Radio London where radio DJ Gary Crowley praised the track as "A song for our times. It leaps out of the radio”.

In support of the EP, Louise embarked upon a solo UK tour in partnership with Musicians Against Homelessness to raise funds for the charity Crisis and roadtested tracks from the forthcoming album.
