    Good ole Mike tells it as it is. Definition of working class parent and punk. I was always inspired by how he makes decisions for his family and career. It’s helped my life too. It’s funny, I’ve seen some pictures of him with his eyes rolled back as he described. He isn’t there haha. I feel it, we all have a vise. He almost met up with me in his area when I was on a business trip in LA area too. Humble dude.

      ACTION were from Toronto. They use to be in a band called The Class that had more of an Oi! influence. I actually prefer their old sound before they became ACTION, you can check out some of the old songs here (th-cam.com/play/PLYofkFjGTYy9bdKKT8q98ZKHGgfQGFl77.html), I uploaded a few that are impossible to find on TH-cam. They had one album that was released on a small record label from Toronto that's impossible to find now days. The drummer Greg, commented on one of my uploads. Here's his channel maybe you can reach out to him: th-cam.com/channels/h2EinoV__xuKUDVwd7T2SQ.html
