Piece Of The Action

Piece Of The Action is the sixth studio album by the British-American band The Infection, released on June 3rd, 2017. The album was recorded around February - May 2017 and was somewhat rushed due to the band's busy schedules and their involvement with Vans Warped Tour. This was the first and only known studio album that Sandy and Yolandi were given more creative control.

 

This was the band's first studio album since 2005, and the last to feature Sandy Cheeks as she was pronounced dead on July 16th. The album was supposed to be a 3-part concept album, starting with this one and other albums that were planned before Sandy's death, according to Yolandi Visser on The Joe Rogan Experience in a January 2021 episode.
