STOP PRESS: A.C.T REACH NUMBER 4!



A.C.T into the charts in their native Sweden with their 4th Album.

'Silence' came crashing in at number 15 surrounded by such legends as Bob Dylan, Iron Maiden, Bruce Springsteen and current hot artistes such as Evanescence, Scissor Sisters, Christina Aguilera and The Dixie Chicks, but rose to the incredible number 4 position.

AAUK Management would like to congratulate A.C.T on this stunning achievement and thank Inside Out Music and the band's fans for all their hard work and support!

"It's a rarity when one so decisively engulfs the listener in irresistible bliss..." ProgressiveWorld.net

"I would suggest that you rush out to get this album on the day of its release..." Powermetal.dk"

The music is indefinable, arguably unique and certainly satisfying..." RevelationZ Magazine

"Further establishing themselves as one of the more intriguing bands..." ProGGnosis

"This is an album that deserves some attention..." Phoenix FM

"One of the most talented bands in the genre..." Rockreport.be

The 4th album 'Silence' - Now available around the world!

Who Are A.C.T?
For seven years, Sweden kept A.C.T as a closely guarded secret. Sell out concerts followed their schooling in a national music contest, while five star reviews came in as if second nature.

With their debut album, 1999s Today's Report the media and fans outside of Sweden, finally obtained a glimpse of the Malmo band, but it was not until the bands second album, the 2001 release Imaginary Friends, that the borders of Sweden were breached and the musical adventure of A.C.T really began!

Support shows with Fish, Saga and Slash followed until in 2003, the band performed 40 shows around Europe to around 60,000 people in nine countries following the release of their third album, 'Last Epic'.

They are regular headliners at around Europe and have twice stolen the show at the Sweden Rock Festival and were voted the best live band in 2003 ahead of bands such as Yes, Jethro Tull, Queensryche and Whitesnake.

Now signed to Inside Out Music in Europe and North America and Marquee Avalon in Japan the band are a secret no more!
