Description
Afoot is the debut six-song EP by the American indie rock band Let's Active, first released in 1983 by I.R.S. Records.
The music on Afoot was recorded from June 1982 through March 1983. Recording was done at bandleader Mitch Easter's home recording studio, Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The songs were presented as a demo to I.R.S., who quickly signed the band. The six songs were packaged as a mini album debut for the band and released in 12" vinyl EP format in late 1983.
Although it sold only modestly, the EP was a prominent critical success. Trouser Press described the record as giving "new meaning to such overused pop adjectives as crisp, bright and ringing". In a particularly effusive retrospective review, AllMusic said "the entire EP is simply flawless" and called all six songs "brilliantly catchy".
Afoot was a major hit on college radio stations in late 1983–early 84. The opening track, "Every Word Means No", was particularly popular, and came to be regarded as a signature song for the group.[7] In the late 1990s it was covered by Smash Mouth and featured on the Friends Again soundtrack (1999). It lent its name (partially) to the multi-band compilation Every Word: A Tribute to Let's Active (2003), and continues to endure as "a mainstay of '80s pop retrospectives".
