About Me

Action Versus Action specializes in to-the-hilt Action-Rock. We like to walk into a joint, rock it, and leave the entire place in the awesome shambles of a live show packed with so much energy you could power seven Minneapolises. //Here's how it is: Big vocal hooks, bigger guitar hooks, hot-solid bass riffs, and an empire of drum all in a live show with smoke, lights, kicks, slams, sticks, fists, and wide wide eyes. //Action Versus Action has five members. We met in the elaborate folds of the past and emerged in the here and now as one, unafraid; changed from five metal tigers into a Voltron of rocking.//And now, all nights are for you. The mightiest of the best. The rockers and rollers in the streets of Minneapolis. The champions of the latest hours and the biggest shows. The denizens of the furthest reaches of sound and light and bliss.//You. The Action Heroes.
