Don't know shit about this Canadian band coming from Toronto.
Heard the song "Trapped in a World"* on a local radio back in '89, it left me a great impression and i immediately wanted to find more material from this band. Direct Action played fast thrashy and dark Hardcore, that could be compared to a more melodic version of Septic Death...
So i was looking for Direct Action material... by browsing the MRR ads, i found out a german label just released an eighteen song Lp for the European market, pressed on blue/purple vinyl, and combining the best songs from the band's 1984 demo and 1985 12'' lp.
This Lp is pretty good classic Canadian Hardcore, fast drums, shouted vocals, groovy bass lines, playing just between classic American hardcore bands and thrashier stuff like Septic Death and Negative Gain. If you never heard them yet, it's highly recommended to give it a try:

*Oh well, here's the lyrics from that great, great song...

"Trapped In a World

Brought into this world with a violent slap
Thats the first key to the spring of the trap
T.V. eyed me for remote control
But life's not a dope opera show

Trapped in a world
That I never made
Trapped in a world
And it's my grave

Media blitz gives a numbing zap
That's the second key to the spring of the trap
Apathy is a social disease
Now it's on your feet or on your knees

Shrinks think your brain is a road map
That's the third key to the spring of the trap
Technology advances but their minds remain the same
19th century rules for a 21st century game"
