"Tasty hooks, fab musicianship and all-around excellent songwriting make this my new favorite album from my new favorite band, Actionslacks. Haven't heard of them? That's ok. You'll want to get to know this band if you dig artists like Matthew Sweet, The Replacements, Promise Ring or even The Jellyfish. "The Scene's Out of Sight" features a righteous variety of well-written songs with just enough sophistication to earn your respect, but without being too intellectual to get your groove on. Hooks abound, and the vocals are definitely above average. Sink your teeth into this tasty album by a truly evolved rock band. With this CD, you can rock out and still feel good about yourself later."

Indie Rock at its best

"I first heard of Actionslacks back in the day of the now infamous Napster...I downloaded a few songs and discovered that I needed this cd. That was a year or two ago..perhaps three,...this cd has remained one of my favorites and I find myself going back to it at least a few times a week. The songs are all wonderful, they vary between semi-acoustic and rock. Then there are the ballads, like "Last Night I Dreamed" which just blew me away. I always recommend this album to my friends, and all of them that have heard it really enjoyed it and wanted to know where to buy it... If you get a chance to see them live, you are very lucky and do not pass it up."

Their next one might really be outta sight

"Melodic power pop with a singer whose adenoidal vocals are an acquired taste. As an album, "The Scene's Out of Sight" is bouncy, kinda fun, and unafraid of swapping spazzy energy for melancholic introspection. Actionslacks will never light the world on fire, but they're good enough that someone, somewhere, might cherish them as a favorite band."
