Having worn out two drummers, in 2005 they found someone who could keep up with them, Mattia "Pinna", formerly with the Hormonauts. In August/September of the same year, they recorded their first LP, with producer Riccardo "Paso" Pasini.
But as with all great bands, it's the drummer who is the first casualty and Snico is now the man holding it all together, with Pinna remaining a spiritual member of the group.
Their genre can be best described as melodic hardcore with lashings of funk, thrash-metal, garage rock and more thrown into the mix; "post-melodic hardcore", if you will.
Since forming, the ActionMen have toured, extensively, across Italy and Germany, releasing two demos along the way.
Having recently signed with Canadian label, Unicorn Records, it's time for the rest of the world to catch up with ActionMen, as their 2005 recording, "The Game" will be unleashed on the world with BellsOn Records publishing the record in Japan.
Band members:
Vocals and Guitars: LIBE;
Vocals and Guitars: TEO;
Bass: DIEGO;
Drums: SNICO.

ActionMen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can begin to explain the love
like a masterpiece, just say hello. Hello.
The greatest writes evergreens, songs that touch the heart
from the smaller child to the cinic man, I have no choiche and sensibility
to explain what I feel.
I think it's one of my lacks but I've tried with no resault.
Maybe it's your way, my dear.
The point is, that I think people it's different,
no one it's better than the others
just check who is good to socialize with you
from this time to the end
maybe it's your way, my dear
An example, I can't stand to stay with lazies.
Nervous I am but my habits
are not totally write
I should take it with love
from this time to the end
maybe it's your way, my dear.
The song "Orlando" by ActionMen is a reflective piece on the complexities of love and the difficulty of expressing it. The opening lines indicate a sense of overwhelming emotion, unsure of where to begin to describe the depth of love felt. This is followed by a comparison to a masterpiece, suggesting that the feelings are so intense that they are on par with works of art.
The lyrics then delve into the idea of the importance of music and how it touches the heart of all individuals, regardless of age or level of cynicism. However, despite this recognition of the power of music, the singer admits to their inability to fully articulate their own romantic soul, which they attribute to a lack of skill. Nevertheless, they hold out hope that maybe the person they love can do it for them.
The final section of the song expands into a discussion of the need to surround oneself with people who are good for their social and mental well-being. The singer reveals their own quirks and anxieties, perhaps seeking to justify how they function by stating that these traits are not entirely written in stone. The ultimate message of the song appears to be that everyone is different and that acceptance and love are crucial in navigating the complexities of life.
