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. Starting with the release of the eighth album “Robotz”, Jackson Cesa added his guitar to the band as well. In 2010, Chuck Trimble left the project to pursue a solo project.

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 Reaction 7 have been kicking around together for awhile. 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 Jackson.

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.

Bobby Schroll-Bodean has been featured with the recording groups The Allies (Cleveland, Ohio) and The Marc James Band and has been performing in Ohio for over 20 years. At one time, Frank and Bobby lived on the same street, and met early in the 1970’s.

Reaction 7 is the also first recording project for Jackson Cesa.
