Action Beat - The Noise Band From Bletchley

*Action Beat is an improvised noise/no-wave punk band from Bletchley(Milton
Keynes), heavily inspired by early Sonic Youth, The EX, Glenn Branca and other
avant guitar ensembles.
*ROCK SOUND `EXPOSURE' FEATURE AND 8/10 REVIEW: "IF YOU LIKE DRIVING MELODIES
, FRANTIC GUITARS AND GARGANTUAN CRESCENDOS CRASHING INTO YOUR EARDUMS
WITH THE FEROCITY OF SPAZZED OUT TEENS IN A MOSHPIT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A FUCKING AWESOME TIME."
*When it comes to Action Beat, improvisation is the operative word, as although
the band comprises a core of around five musicians, their cast can expand to
as many as fourteen for the live shows. A normal gig will have at least three
guitarists, a bassist and between one to four drummers.
*Musically they emulate the intensity of Fugazi and possess a touring ethos of
Black Flag, hence, playing constantly. The whirlwind shows are the band's
secret weapon and so far they have gained much recognition in the UK and
Europe, by doing things in the only way they know how, by doing it themselves.
*Tracklisting: 01.  High Action 02.  Meat Head 03.  Safe 04.  Le Chap 05.
Mellish 06.  Dinosaur 07.  Manic Face 08.  Your History's Shit 09.  Daddy
