There’s a certain class of bands in Nashville that it seems like everyone and no one is talking about. South Nashville shoegaze two-piece Action! is one of those bands: Their debut album Friend Weakend has been hailed as one of the “top 10 [records] of 2010, easily” by We Own This Town, and Consequence of Sound gushed over their Deerhoof-esque qualities in a live review. And yet it seems like the only people who’ve even heard of them are bloggers.

A few weeks ago I was turned on to this folky indie-twosome from Nashville, TN – Action! – a more honest name than some bands. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Burns have fashioned themselves an impressive combination of soothing sounds and fun, imaginative lyrics seldom seen from a married couple. Props to them!\
