Artist History Kind of like life itself, no one is quite sure how Action Potential began. In September of 1988, two Cook College (New Brunswick, N.J., U.S.A.) freshmen, Antny Greco and his roommate Martin Sanchez, were passing the time by singing off-key acapella versions of timeless classics such as "La Bamba." A few weeks later, Antny and his new-found friend Jefrey Smith sat down to rewrite a sappy love poem Antny had written for his girlfriend. The sappy love poem was converted into a vulgar punk anthem with very little effort. So Antny and Jefrey recruited a few other friends to join them as they banged on the furniture, screamed the lyrics, and made assorted other unpleasant noises on items such as desk lamps and cardboard boxes. Luckily (?), all of this was captured on tape.
