OUT APRIL 18, 2014 VIA ERNEST JENNING RECORD CO.
Action Beat are excited to announce their new record, A Remarkable Machine, out April 18 via Ernest Jenning Record Co — their first US release. The first single from the record, “Spoonfeed Hell,” is available to stream and embed HERE. The band has also embarked on their first-ever tour with a vocalist (the legendary G.W. Sok), starting April 10 in Amsterdam, Netherlands and concludingApril 20 in Karlsrhue, Denmark.
Action Beat are an improvisational instrumental noise rock act from Bletchley, UK who usually perform with 3-4 drummers and an inordinate about of guitarists. G.W. Sok is the former frontman of Amsterdam’s The Ex.
In late 2012, Action Beat went into Seizures Palace in Brooklyn, NY with engineer Jason LaFarge (Swans, Akron/Family) and recorded a days worth of music that they spent the next 6 months editing down into the segments that would become the 10 tracks on A Remarkable Machine. The songs were then handed off to G.W. Sok who lent his unique vocal delivery and perspective to the record, resulting in one of the most unexpectedly structured creations in the band’s 8 album catalog. Brutal and poetic at the same time, A Remarkable Machine will be issued in limited editions as a 2X10″ record.
