"Full of hyper-charged riffs molded into tersely economical melodies...one of the most underrated and underestimated bands in Austin." Chris Gray, Austin Chronicle

"The Action Is took the stage and destroyed it with a sonic wall of rock fury. ..reminiscent of early Sonic Youth and The Pixies, rounded out with ass-kicking rock 'n roll...these guys deliver an explosive set every time. If you haven't seen them yet, you must. This is one of the most underestimated bands in Austin's rock scene." Frankie Vain, Rank and Revue

"The Action Is, from Austin, rock like the Stooges had somehow introduced bendy-string riffs to the Ron Asheton repertoire. Theirs is a loud and very exciting twin-guitar assault...[The Action Is] have us crashing our feet down so hard on the wooden floor that our socks are later welded to our sticky soles."

"These guys take 'post punk', or whatever you want to call it, to a whole new level. The Action Is delivers a no-bullshit, no-frills, ultra-hard-driving rock and roll on steroids brand of music. This band is a must-see." Al Hodges
