Reaction 7 Music

Reaction 7 formed in 2007 to develop and release a CD for distribution and airplay based on the psychotic song arrangement of Frank Fogg, the devious guitar arrangements of Chuck Trimble and the percussive tones of Michael F. Roberts. Starting with their second album, Al Fishell joined up to add his own guitar voicings to the mix. With the release of their sixth album, “Young Thing”, Bobby Schroll-Bodean joined Reaction 7 as the bass player.

Each album by Reaction 7 contains a variety of musical styles from modern rock to techno to americana with many songs often containing a mix of those influences. This band works hard at sounding different than the others (and sometimes succeeds!) and breaks away from delivering “formula” songs. Many of the tracks are recorded in one or two takes to maintain a feeling of spontaneity and freshness.

The members of the band have been kicking around together off and on for awhile now. Chuck and Frank have known each other since the third grade. In addition to Reaction 7, Chuck also regularly performs with his three piece classic rock cover band “The Influence” throughout Ohio and Frank has filled in as the regular bass player from time to time.

Al and Frank played together in a combination cover/original metal band named “Saturn’s Reign” for awhile at live shows in Ohio. Once Saturn’s Reign had broken up, Al joined the Reaction 7 project and currently shares the lead guitar duties with Chuck.

Reaction 7 is the first recording project for Michael Roberts. Just a young lad, he proves to us constantly that good things come in small packages! He also serves as the band’s technical and marketing strategist.
