Girl Loves Distortion lives, breathes, and creates in Washington, DC, in a working-class community slowly turning more mixed income. While this may not be uncommon with other DC bands, the neighborhood where they practice and write music together seeps into the DNA of their discography and musical catalogue. As a result their songs are tinged with an urgency, edge, and point of view that deals with societal issues, diversity, and interpersonal relationships. This could very well be a recipe for pretense, but the band knows how to temper weighty issues with savvy, sarcasm, and self-deprecation that disarm any heavy-handedness.

In the summer of 2007, the band linked up with local producer and engineer Hugh McElroy (Black Eyes) to record their debut album Earth Beings On Exhibit at Swim-2-Birds Studio. His studio was located just 10 minutes from where the songs where written, and the opportunity seemed like a perfect situation for many reasons, especially considering the reflective nature of the songs. With an equal affinity for post-punk aggression and songs with a defined beat, the group recorded stripped down, moody, dance-oriented songs that contained subtle electronics, and in some cases, plenty of space. The resulting nine songs are a great cross section of the group's collective influences and perspectives.
