THE ACTION was part of of the effervescent ’80s Florida rock scene looking for a place on the overcrowded melodic rock / AOR / hard rock / metal circuit. They managed to record this only album titled “Louder Than Words“, a private release only released on cassette.
“Louder Than Words” is a varied collection of songs, ranging from Hi-Tech and rock&pop to classic AOR and edgy melodic rock. There’s tons of fluffy keyboards / synths everywhere, a fine guitar work, and that Simmons electronic drums so, so ’80s. And the vocals / harmonies are very well done.
As requested, here’s the Retrospect Records reissue. Note there was an early release with a faulty sound, where the guitar almost can’t be heard. This is the 2nd pressing with a fine audio quality, the best you can get as master tapes were lost.
A nice indie US AOR record.
