Friends of Rock & Roll
Formed in 1997 from the smoldering heap of Brannon’s earlier rock powerhouses (LAUGHING HYENAS and before that NEGATIVE APPROACH, both on the Touch and Go Records label), EASY ACTION relies on the Search-And-Destroy ethic, careening like an untracked train into songs that defy interpretation. The jagged guitar rips holes through a swath of rhythm, simple and reckless, but Brannon’s howl is what makes the Action so Easy, a now-familiar screech of war that turns everything upside down. Brannon sings of death, love, terror, hate, and the emotional shrapnel that scars anyone who lives and breathes.
