THE REACTORS * WEEKEND* LA PUNK '80.mov
The Reactors were a San Bernardino / Los Angeles / Punk Rock band from from 1978-82. Pioneers of DIY producing their own artwork, booking, photos, and records. They released a Self Titled 7" in 1978 and a full length LP 'World War Four' ( WW4 ) in 1980. Both were self recorded & self produced and released on their own label Nuclear Waste Records. Really amazing female fronted punk rock in the vein of The Avengers and X with chorus melodies similar to the Misfits, X-Ray Specs, and Classic '77 Political Punk. I'm guessing if this band had larger label backing they would have been a household name by this point and been regarded as another one of the great Punk bands of the early wave LA scene.
