Artist Portrait

The Reaction

Band, CH
Rock

The Reaction reigned as Switzerland's one and only Mod Band for nearly a decade starting in 1981. At first they released two 7"EPs with 4 songs each, being "Turn The Clock Back" and "Thank You For Coming", both on Blow Records. A self titled LP self-titled, also on Blow Records, followed and was nationally distributed by Rec-Rec. The Reaction toured all over Europe and became famous for their authentic performances with old amps and guitars, offering something for ears and eyes alike. In 1987 the band shrank to a Trio, and released one more Maxi 12" called "Cheers Then & Good-Bye", and also performed on National T.V. There after singer & songwriter MAX called it quits and went solo. A noteworthy fact is that the first EP went all the way to #6 on the Alternative Playlist of the Canadian Based Radio Station CFMU FM 93 in Hamilton Ontario thanks to an article in legendary UK fanzine 'Bucketfull of Brains'.
