"Right on the label it says everything for you..."For Fans of...The Killers, Interpol, The Faint, and Depeche Mode"
They couldn't be more right. Action Action serves to please in this album which I bought on a whim. The tracks are introspective, alarming, surprising, moving, and exciting!
I wish I could say more but I just can't think of a way to express in words what your ears should be hearing!
Go...now! Buy! Listen!"
Buy this now!!!!

"This CD is amazing. The ad says it best if you are a fan of new wave or anything like it you will love this CD. Its a bit more pop/rock and less electronic than The Faint but it satisfies the same apatite I just hope it holds up the as time goes by and I listen more."
Punky angsty synth pop, better then you would think

"Ignore the label, that is a marketing campaign, you know the sticker that says for fans of the killers, depeche mode and teh faint, uhhh not nearly as good as any of them. Yet, for a side project debut from a bunch of indie emo/punk guys it's not bad.
They pull of the sytnh pop beautifully with "drug like", but fail on some levels with "photograph" which sounds like a synthy goo goo dolls-Bryan Adams cover. My fav's are Drug Like, A Simple Question, Broken, This year's Fashion/don't cut your fabric, and The Short Weekend Begins With A Longing.
Overall, at times a bit too emo-like and angsty, but when they are mixing punky and synth it is better then the more straight ou tpunky or 90's pop rock songs, and the one and only bad song is an acoustic song track 11, it is just bad thank heavens it is only 2 minutes. But Drug like, and Broken are near perfect fun."
A Great Debut

"With the combo of The Reunion Show's Mark leading the vocals, Count the Stars Clarke and Adam, and The Diffuser's Dan, this CD has come out to be one of the hot ones of this year in Indie. Their sound is amazing and "drug like" is so catchy, along with "lets never go to sleep" GO BUY IT"
In this case clever song titles DO make for clever songs

"I had never listened to Action Action before my friend bought there second album. I was blown away right from the beginning so a few days later I bought Don't Cut Your Fabric To This Years Fashion. I think I have listened to it all the way through 20 times and I still can't get enough. "Drug Like" is a beautiful, sad, electronic masterpiece. "Instructions on building a model airplane" rocks like something great. "The Short Week Begins With Longing" is the perfect ending, and everything in between is just as spectacular. Great CD."
