About the Artist

Rocking with a scowling, felonious ease, EASY ACTION creates a dark world illuminated by glaring white noise. Their native Detroit is a historical wellspring of musical damage and the men of EASY ACTION (Brad Hales on bass and J Bonaquist on drums, led by two sons of Army officers, John Brannon on guitar and vocals and Harold Richardson on guitar) brandish the seamy, steamy sounds of downtown.

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.

Product Description

EASY ACTION’S sound is a fierce antidote to the current retro plague that embraces their hometown, where post-college geeks triumph by putting Buddy Holly licks through a fuzz box. Often in it’s storied past plagued by drugs and jail time, EASY ACTION has a grim and gritty real-life feel, the outlaw kind that rockers like Keith Richards, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash know so well. It is a past that is, indeed, past— "It’s a choice; do I want to rock or do I want to use?" Brannon says, answering his own question. Any rock band worth its salt is damaged goods simply by virtue of choice; play wild, live wild, there is no alternative, and EASY ACTION is a rock band, despite efforts by pretentious rock critics and self-important "writers" to pigeonhole them in some movement or another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Brannon Howls Again, January 28, 2006

John Brannon from the Laughing Hyenas is back with a great band called Easy Action. The songs and overall sound from this band is more classic 70s era punk than the more pained, mournful sounds of the Hyenas.
The songs are terrific and the guitar tones are excellent, wildly distorted, just great at melding with Brannon's werewolf howls. This is one of the few real punk records left to enjoy. Everybody else is just faking.
