Phinehas' latest EP The Bridge Between features an interesting mix of rearranged works from their previous albums and a couple new tracks.

No gimmicks or tricks to be found with the North Carolina based band known as A Course of Action. What you will find with this group is straight forward kick tail rock and roll being created in the highest quality of musicianship.

A Course of Action is currently supporting its full-length album entitled Dark Before The Dawn which is chock full of memorable hard rocking tunes, catchy choruses and is well worth your effort to check out. While this rock outfit has every right to be proud of their current project, the band isn’t about to rest on its laurels and is already actively tracking new songs for another project with plenty of touring on the horizon for the remainder of 2013.

Daring to be different in a non-socially acceptable way, they challenged the system musically and broke down barriers.
