About Us

“DISTRACTION” is a Rock Covers Duo which combines the talents of two compelling vocalists in Debi Martin and Brad

Buckley. Throw in Brad’s natural flair for creating a solid rhythm on his guitar to back the pair and an awesome mix

of mainstream Rock and Popular Covers from the 70s to now and the result is something that has audiences hanging out

to see which song comes next.

Both artists have spent years honing their craft in various acts across Queensland and New South Wales. This

experience brings any venue or function a polished and versatile show capable of molding and adapting itself to the

individual demands of each performance. Whether it be a dinner function or a partied up Pub Rock vibe or a blend of

both the huge variety of music covered by this entertaining duo with their undeniable chemistry, on stage and off doubled with their connection with their audience ensures that the needs of the event are met by this magnetic couple. Distraction performs well known hits from artists ranging from The Eagles and Missy Higgins, right through to the powerhouse rock songs of Cold Chisel and The Choirboys, and Debi also belts out several hits from the “Rock Chicks” such as Pink, Melissa Etheridge, Pat Benatar and The Divinyls. Nothing is missed out so whether you want to rock out or you just want to chill Distraction is the ideal duo for your next event.

Our band formerly called "MYADDICTION" has morphed over the years, and we're now known as " The Hustler and The Soundmen" 

With 3 original band members and two other awesome friends, we pulled our new line up together in a successful move we'll never forget.

Corporate level, "The Soundmen" are absolutely at the top of the class.
