Man Sized Action was a post-punk group from Minneapolis. They released two records in '83 and '84. The first one was produced by Bob Mould. Both albums, as well as two compilations on which the band appeared were released by Reflex Records. The band consisted of Pat Woods - Vocals, Tippy - Guitar, Kelly Linehan - Bass, and Tony Pucci - Drums. Second Guitarist Brian Paulson joined for 1984's Five Story Garage.
Five Story Garage's diistinctive cover art was the result of an unintentional error in preparation for the four color printing process.
Kelly Linehan later played bass with Dragnet.
