British, Nottingham-born, singer-songwriter JAKE BUGG who turned 30 last February, but still looks like 20, announced details of the birth of his 6th LP. He named it A MODERN DAY DISTRACTION and will make his fans happy with its release on 20th September.

Press info: “It’s a record that turns up the noise while shining a light on the injustice he’s seen dealt to the family and friends he grew up with. Fiery and engaged, the record was born out of a frustration of societal inequality. Bugg found that a time had come when he just couldn’t look away.”

Bugg: “People might say ‘What do you know?’ or ‘Just stick to music’. I’ve got a bit of money, but we all know the people this affects. I was just writing it because it was the way I felt. It pisses me off – especially in a country like ours where we have the means and funds to take care of the people suffering the most, but we choose not to. It’s fucking brutal. [People live in] a constant cycle of working to live. They’re not paid what they’re worth. People have the same routine every day, they’re at work more than they see their kids, then the government puts the retirement age up. It’s not right.”
