Following the release of “Going Heel” in 2018, Action/Adventure has returned with their latest EP, titled “Pulling Focus.”
The EP kicks off with the powerful single, “Barricades,” which begins with softer instrumentation as the lead vocalist asks “Would you listen if we looked any different?” The tempo speeds up immediately after, and the lyrics that follow (“Would you listen if we all looked the same? ‘Cause it’s getting so much harder to pass through all these barricades”) continue to spark a crucial conversation about diversity and inclusion within the music scene. “Poser” is up next, instantly bringing catchy instrumentals and melodies to the table, and the vocals really grabbed my attention during the pre-chorus and the irresistible chorus that follows, as well as the second verse, where the overall vocal performance is highlighted a bit more. “Club 27” picks up where the previous track left off as the instrumentals bring tons of energy throughout, particularly within its chorus, where the vocals deliver one of the strongest vocal performances on the EP The bass gets a chance to shine as it pairs with the drums to drive the bridge before a riff-driven breakdown precedes the song’s final chorus and outro. “Semi-Prologue” slows things down a little bit, but the passionate drums really stand out as they lead the more midtempo rhythm, and the vocals deliver a captivating performance from the moment they initially come in. “Tuck Everlasting” picks the pace back up once again, containing unforgettable melodies and instrumentals from start to finish, and the lively “Nothing Left” does the same, from its riff-driven intro to choruses containing melodies that fans will instantly sing along to when shows safely make their return. The EP concludes with its title track, “Pulling Focus” which begins on a much softer note, but shortly thereafter, the dynamic instrumentals and striking vocals make a return, providing some impressive performances throughout the song. With “Pulling Focus,” Action/Adventure brings forth seven spectacular tracks, and overall, it’s a fantastic release from beginning to end. "PULLING FOCUS" WILL BE RELEASED THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 30TH, 2021. CHECK OUT THE LATEST SINGLE, "POSER," HERE:
