Action Reaction - "March On" (2006)

Action Reaction is the new band of former Further Seems Forever vocalist Jason Gleason. Gleason manned the mic of FSF’s 2003 release How To Start a Fire, and while I like all three of FSF’s singers, I have to say that Gleason was my favorite. It just seemed that his voice fit the music the best. I’ll give you something from Further Seems Forever at a later date, but today I’m digging Action Reaction’s debut 3 Is the Magic Number. Gleason formed the band with his wife, Crissie Verhagen who used to front the band Element 101. They added former Element 101 bassist Salvatore Ciaravino and the group was set. 3 Is the Magic Number is full of great experimental rock songs. Gleason’s voice is still strong, but he didn’t do the easy thing and make a straightforward emo album. There are a lot of different elements on this disc. This is probably the song that best encapsulates what Action Reaction is all about.
