BEATFOR63 - The Reactions

The Reactions were a terrific Cleveland band who made the fantastic single for St. Valentine Records “Tomorrow’s Time Today” and this mini lp for Homestead Records. Almost unnoticed, Dave Swanson joined up the 60’s garage band New Salem Witch Hunters, playing bass in Death of Samantha and drums in Cobra Verde. Then joined with the bass guitarist Brian McCafferty and formed the garage-rock-folk band Rainy Day Saints that brought up last year “Diamond Star Highway”, the band's sophomore release, which overflows with masterful, British Invasion-inspired guitar rock.

Cracked Marbles presents six spirited powerful songs, brandishing heavy guitars, and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop. Nice if you like the Replacements, Magnolias etc.
