Handsome Distraction, a four-piece rock band from Victoria (BC), has taken a steady approach toward breaking into the rock music scene since the formation of the band in 2009. Doing what so many bands attempt, Handsome Distraction have an original and refreshing sound with an authentic and energetic stage performance to coincide.

2012 was a very successful year with the release of their EP “Fight or Flight” which has received high acclaim and sales, a solid Canadian tour in August that had fans, promoters and managers across the country requesting their return along with many packed local shows including an appearance on the main stage at The Vancouver Music Festival in December! 2013 sees the band showcasing at Canadian Music Week in Toronto in March, a slot at the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival in April, releasing their new EP "A Mighty Roar" in May, embarking on a western Canadian tour in September, and a US tour in the winter!
