Action Painters have released a new three-track EP titled "Lay That Cable". The first song, "Easy 2 Pretend" is a catchy introduction to the following two tracks, "456", and "Money Changes Everything". This three-song collection is upbeat, clever, and most importantly: danceable. The EP is different from the band's 2007 release of "Chubby Dancer", showing obvious growth both lyrically and musically. The band's style is similar to that of Julius Airwave, but the amount of energy in their songs set them apart from most groups that share their style.
In addition to the "Lay That Cable", AP has set to work on a new album, which they are planning on working on over the summer. The band has put down a new track called "Supermarket" that they plan on releasing with their new album. The single has more of a pop sound than their previous works, but the song is so good it will be on repeat for a good hour after you first listen to it. The video for supermarket has started to be recorded, and will make a debut sometime soon.
In addition to recording new tracks, they are completing a US tour (see dates below). Check back soon for an interview with the band and news updates.
