Just wanted to thank everyone for listening, promoting, and supporting The Action Blast. We have big hopes for the new year and we’ll be playing our first show ever this Saturday @ Metro in Chicago, get tickets @ www.metrochicago.com. Within a few short weeks we have managed to cause turmoil on absolutepunk.net, get played on Q101, and record some honest ROCK music, and we could not be happier with what we are doing. In the long run people will realize this is more than a viral campaign, this is a movement.
We will be posting more songs very soon. Stay tuned friends.

Hey Everyone,
Day 2 of the studio went very well, we got to the studio around 1:00 PM and began to track some guitar, I was given the chance to use a few pretty cool guitars including an older Gibson which sounded killer! We tracked through two of the songs and got enough tracked so we could start laying vocals down. We’ve decided although we tracked 7 songs initially that we are going to release only 4 of them for our first EP then a few months later go back in to the studio track more songs and then use all the songs for a full length.
Day 3 at the studio went even smoother than the first, I came in around 12:15 got everything I needed to done in a few hours then headed home.
We tracked the bass on Wednesday and it went smooth, all the songs were done in a few hours. We are starting vocals tomorrow and then doing vocal work all day on Sunday.

Hello Everyone,
We started drum tracking about a week ago and I just wanted to let you know that everything went very well. We tracked 7 songs. None of them have titles yet, however we’ve had some fun names for a few of them like “Sportscenter”, “Shogun”, and “Gunslinger.” We tracked the songs at Rax Trax recording with our buddy Tony manning the boards. We are all very proud of how everything is begining to roll with our new band. We finally booked our debut show which will be December 26th @ Chicago’s historic Metro with Lucky Boys Confusion. We are about to begin our full out marketing campaign so if you would like to help pass out flyers for us please email us @ theactionblast@gmail.com, myspace us @ www.myspace.com/theactionblast, and follow us on twitter at www.twitter.com/theactionblast. I know it’s hard following a band that you know nothing about, but the 5 kids that do the most work for our new band will be rewarded free tickets to our debut show @ Metro.
