LOUISE DISTRAS - DREAMS FROM THE FACTORY FLOOR - REVIEW COMING SOON

LOUISE DISTRAS

DREAMS FROM THE FACTORY FLOOR

RELEASE DATE: 30TH SEPTEMBER 2013

STREET REVOLUTION RECORDS

CATALOG NUMBER FR0001

With a clenched fist full of fury that targets injustice, apathy and X Factor culture - "Louise Distras is poised to single-handedly reinvigorate the punk scene" with the release of her debut album 'Dreams From The Factory Floor', out 30th September via Street Revolution Records.

Described as "the 21st century Joe Strummer who personifies punk rock spirit and renegade soul", Louise Distras is making her own mark as an activist in our urban sprawl. On International Womens Day, she set out to "empower young women" by releasing her debut single 'The Hand You Hold'. It was angry, pointed and "an anthem for female empowerment", asking the media: 'Who are you to say/we should look this way?'

"I'm sick of the way women and young girls are reduced to stereotypes and exploited", says Louise, who is proud to be putting the purpose back into pop.

Praised as "the only new generation punk artist to catch the eye of the mainstream press since the Sex Pistols!", Louise has garnered much attention from major press and fanzines alike including BBC Radio 1 who said "Louise Distras is destroying it now and flying the flag, she is what all punk should be about!"

Fresh from performing on the Leftfield Stage at this years Glastonbury Festival, this summer will see Louise Distras touring in support of her debut album throughout mainland Europe with Street Dogs followed by a Canadian tour this Autumn with The Mahones.

You can bet your last fiver that you'll be seeing alot more of this talented song-smith in the not too distant future. Most likely hitchhiking, guitar slung over her shoulder on the way to a town near you! For more information visit www.louisedistras.co.uk
