The Alarm take Direct Action

On April 12 The Alarm will be releasing their newest Cd Direct Action.

The sound of 'Direct Action' is the sound of The Alarm right up to the minute and explores themes of change and the ways in which change impacts on our daily lives. 'Direct Action's main tenet is in how to deal with that change and the diverse emotions that it brings out in all of us. Lyrically, it challenges the listener to not be afraid of change but to take positive action or as the title track declares in it's first verse, 'To find inspiration where there is none." Perhaps the lyric that sums up ‘Direct Action’ best can be found in the simple Mike Peters' acoustic performance of 'Badge Of Honour' [Part Two] where he sings "It's up to us to make a truce, up to us to broker peace, up to us to find the words that will make or break us".



Direct Action


Fire in the hole, war coming down

As Wall Street crashes to an all time low

To find inspiration where there is none

You're going to have to take DIRECT ACTION

Free man of this land, he knows what's going down

He's got a King James Bible right by his side

To find the truth in a web of lies

You're going to have to take DIRECT ACTION

I'd give my last drop of blood just to keep you alive

Take a bullet in the head for you

Make a stand in the court of humanity all alone

DIRECT ACTION now
