A Brief History of !Action Pact!
It all started with the Big Bang. The Universe was created, gasses started to fuse, forming the planets, the sun …………(er, you don’t have to go back quite THAT far, a recent history will do. Ed).
Ok. It’s 1890. Rock ‘n Roll is 60 years away, ……(better, but I think you can improve on this. Ed).
1979? (almost. Ed)
It’s 1981 (Ta-daaa. Ed). Thatcherism is yet to grip the nation in a full-on headlock and half-choke it to death. !Action Pact! rose from the ashes of the Bad Samaritans, with the aim of lightening the mood of a youth, depressed by unemployment, the rise in tribal violence, the Cold War and Duran Duran.
The first line-up comprised George Cheex, Wild Planet, Dr Phibes and Joe Fungus, and their first recording, a split single with Dead Man’s Shadow, featured “London Bouncers” and “All Purpose Action Footwear”. Regular airings on John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 programme, some gigs and a hint of coverage in the music press led to a deal with Jungle Records subsidiary Fallout, and a second single, the mighty Suicide Bag EP – this was the first !Action Pact! release to feature three tracks, two ‘serious’ and one ‘throwaway’. By mid-1982, the band had recorded two John Peel sessions and was gaining in popularity. Joe then decided he had had enough.

rx78 There are some good songs. A little dull hear and there.

cannibalroses It doesn't suck. It may be a little cliched but that isn't always necessarily a bad thing.
