“Striding across the dark line between rock and electronics…” – Clash
The Actions are a Bristol-based genre-bending duo formed by Marta Argenio and Mo Stellato.
They have built an impressive live reputation with past support slots for R.E.M., Green Day, Garbage and The Distillers, plus deep roots in London’s grassroots circuit. Their debut single ‘The Real Thing’ was featured on the soundtrack of the MTV US slasher movie 'My Super Psycho Sweet 16'.
Blending dark electronics with driving rock, The Actions have... received press support from Clash Magazine and Nothing But Hope and Passion, alongside airplay from BBC Radio 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, Amazing Radio’s Simon Raymonde, Matt Baty, and John Kennedy on Radio X. Their album 'Flourish', conceived during the pandemic and finalised at the legendary Invada Studios, showcases a darker, more expansive sound—combining cinematic sensibilities with the groove-led atmospherics of Low and Portishead. Now entering a new chapter, The Actions are pushing toward a stronger, more direct sonic and lyrical approach. They return with the single ‘Take More’, a sharp, suburban track that has already generated significant momentum being hand-picked for Rough Trade Counter Culture playlist, receiving a double airplay on BBC Introducing West, getting a TV sync placement on E4’s Made In Chelsea, plus a number of press features including BrooklynVegan, Wax Music, Bizzarre, Babystep Magazine, Indie Is Not A Genre. Their sound now feels leaner, louder, and more confrontational—pulling their electronic roots into something closer to raw, restless urgency, with a new album set to release this year.
