A Course Of Action
Whilst able to tear through rock numbers, A Course Of Action also have the ability to layer melodies in to the sound, all the time retaining a powerful injection of bass and drum to keep fans of rock music exactly on keel. Tightly played music is delivered with consummate ease and the listener is left in no doubt they are in the company of a well rounded band who know exactly the sound they are seeking to share.
The fuzzed guitars swing around the room like an axe, cleaving through the space developing a focus for attention whilst the vocals and drums are given room to manoeuvre ensuring there is plenty for the ears to work with. Whilst their recorded material is well produced, A Course Of Action is also an extremely active live performance band and it is probably through the experience gained on the stage that the quartet are able to transfer that sense of life to the mixing desk with such seeming ease.
Interestingly, whilst the guitars are given plenty of space for showcasing, it is within the context of the tracks, with breaks rarely lasting over four bars, always driving forward the progression of the piece, they are never given time to become self-indulgent – and for me – it is that ability that makes A Course Of Action a band worth some considerable time.
