What's more mod than having a Batman sticker on your Rickenbacker? The Reactions were a swell Cleveland combo who made a pair of singles and a solid EP for Homestead before they decided that their dreamed-of youth explosion was never going to ignite. This was their first effort, a great flower-pop song with just enough dirtiness to the jangle that even mean guys like Byron Coley and Gerard Cosloy liked it. Current whereabouts: Dave Swanson has been involved with the New Salem Witch Hunters, and Swanson and bassist Brian McCafferty are garage-folk-rocking out in the Rainy Day Saints. The RDSaints will release a second LP this year on Get Hip. For more details check the excellent Clepunk site, dedicated to Ohio's long and amazing history of great punk bands.
