Discography by REACTOR NO. 7

Full discography from Reston, Virginia high-school squad REACTOR NO. 7.

All recorded while members were between 15-18 years over a 2'ish year period in the late 1990s. R7 was an unruly crew of friends exercising teen confusion through a mess of hardcore punk metal music, mixed with DIY costumes and a spectacle live show.

Equally influenced by GWAR, DC HARDCORE, 108, PANTERA and classic punk music, REACTOR NO. 7 wore the influences on their sleeves (including blatant riff-plagiarism) but remained prolific during their short tenure.

Originally released in 1999 on home-burned CD-Rs as Robo 002.5, the audio has finally been salvage from a variety of sources as the ancient CD-Rs degraded and skipped over the years. This has been a labor of love for historical documentation, even if rough around the edges.

R7 drummer / independent filmmaker Chad Middleton put together an excellent short-documentary on the band, titled "Similar Wavelength" and available here:
