Emily Whitehurst and Matt McKenzie came together to produce a new band[1] self-described as "a refreshing mix of the band's punk rock roots infused with hard hitting dance rhythms and catchy basslines wrought with think memorable vocal hooks".
In January 2011, on their official Facebook page, the band announced its members are currently focusing on other musical projects rather than The Action Design.
Taking over drumming duties would be Jake Krohn, formerly of The Rum Diary; also added to The Action Design crew would be Jaycen McKissick, formerly of Pipedown, on guitar.
Each band member began pulling double duty; picking up the keyboard parts on their respective instruments.
The Action Design released a limited edition EP with only 1000 pressings in the fall of 2006 and quickly sold out without having played a single show.
