One more double feature in this theatre and we turn down two gears. Easy Action was a Swedish glam rock band from Stockholm which were formed 1981 by Pelle Almgren, Bosse Belsen & Björne Froberg. They managed to earn attentive from Stranded Records which released their debut 7'' Honcho Bongo which didn't sell well and they got another try with their second one “Om Jag Vore Kung (If I Were King)”. Shortly after the release, the band broke up. Easy Action was reorganized in 1983 by Greg Belsen (now called Zinny Zan) together with Kee Marcello and Peo Thyrén. They changed their style to glampunk rock and had a Sweet-influenced sound and the debut album was released in 1983 and they were no longer interesting for the punkz (I speak only for me).
Here we have their first two records and they're pretty well, more punk-oriented sound and certainly the metal aroma tastes a bit, and all the four tracks worth listen to, where the short songs rather meet my taste. The first 7Inch has two four minutes goodies while the second comes with two short smasher. Zinny released in 2002 a CD called City Boy Blues on Fastlane Fecords with eleven hard rock goodies and also the other members released records in other bands and continue to play music. US hair metal superstars Poison used the chorus of Easy Action's 1983 single "We Go Rocking" in their hit single "I Want Action" which led to the members of Easy Action suing the American band and winning a financial settlement in the case. They reunited for a gig at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2006. This was followed by several shows in late 2007, including opening for Twisted Sister. In April 2008, the band went in the studio with producer Chris Laney to record a new studio album. In 2011 bassist Michael Grimm died. On December 18, 2018 Easy Action was confirmed to play at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2019. The concert will include a live performance of the album That Makes One in its entirety, performed by the line-up that recorded it, including vocalist Tommy Nilsson and guitarists Kee Marcello and Chris Lind. - So give them high five!
