SAN FRANCISCO’S OWN THE ACTION DESIGN
TO RELEASE DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM NEVER SAY ON POPSMEAR RECORDS
– Exploding from the Bay Area music scene and recently chosen as one of
Alternative Press Magazine’s “100 Bands To Watch” in 2008,
The Action Design delivers edgy, yet clean and sophisticated, indie rock well suited for any dance party.
The Action Design emerged like most things, from the end of something else. When the pop-punk act
Tsunami Bomb disbanded, vocalist
Emily Whitehurst and bassist
Matt Mckenzie soldiered on adding guitarist
Jaycen McKissick (ex- Pipedown) and drummer
Jake Krohn (ex- Calcutta Bazaar) to put their new stamp on the San Francisco music scene.
With a focus on change from each of their previous styles, the band’s debut full length is bursting with energy for their
September 23rd release on PopSmear Records.
Never Say carries great weight with its soaring vocal melodies, heart-pounding music and fresh-minded potent lyrics.
With a successful debut EP
Into A Sound (PopSmear) behind them,
The Action Design began writing new material in their van while on last year’s Warped Tour and continued to polish their songs right up until the day they entered the studio with producer Scott Llamas (Love Equals Death, Facing New York)
. Never Say is highlighted by the hook-laden “
Ten Feet of Snow,” that reminds us that we reap what we sow, and the power-house “
Landmines,” a track fueled by the futile attempts people make to be something they are not. These tracks are just the tip of the stunning, intense and brilliant musical collection that is
Never Say.
The complete track listing for
Never Say is:
1. Half a World
2. Ten Feet of Snow
3. Pale Horizon
4. Landmines
5. The Crossing
6. Lounge in Formation
7. Tokyo Train
8. Could, not Should
9. Empty Face
10. All That Night
Be sure to catch
