If you like your music with big guitar riffs and hard heavy drums, look no further than Reactions. This band from Phoenix who say their genre is Rock/Alternative/Post-Hardcore have recently released their five track EP called Under My Skin. With just five tracks this EP has to show off the band in a very quick time, and actually it does that well and I'm sure you heavy rockers out there will love every single one of these tracks. The EP was produced Dan Parker who also produced The Summer Set, Hello Hollywood and A Change of Pace.

The EP was produced Dan Parker who also produced The Summer Set, Hello Hollywood and A Change of Pace.
For me the song that jumped out as the standout track has to be Tendencies which has a great melody and vocal throughout. I love the feel of this song and it ended up on rotational play on my music player. Even with the heavy screaming vocals towards the end, which isn't really my English cup of tea, it's still done with passion and feeling and that's what you feel with this band with all the songs they sing and play. They have taken time to craft these songs to sound how they want them to sound. And they should be proud with the fullness in the sound of this EP.
This full sound and passion can also be heard during the track Bones, the band are not just content on using their heavy guitars to drag the song from start to finish, again they have thought of how to keep the listener interested in how they sound and what they want to say. Things get a bit heavier and faster paced during It's Not Over and Nightmares, and as said before if you like heavy rock music then look no further than these guys. They aren't just another heavy rock band, these guys have great melodies to their songs, which are full of passion when they play them. Hopefully a full album will emerge from this band in the future.
