About Me

Brave Radar is Conor Prendergast (Sydney, Australia) and Tessa Smith (Halifax, NS). Distracting Strangers is the first full-length release from this Montreal-based pop duo. With two guitars and kitchen sink drums, they build shambolic ditties that captivate and mess about with a jarring stickiness.
Distracting Strangers is available at Phonopolis record shop (5403A Avenue du Parc) in Montreal.
