Reactant

**Reactant** emerged from San Diego's underground scene in the mid-2000s, blending post-hardcore intensity with math rock's jagged rhythms. Formed by high school friends Tyler Rogers (vocals/guitar), Mia Chen (bass), and Jalen Cole (drums), the trio gained traction with their 2007 debut EP *Signal to Noise*, praised for its frenetic energy and emotional rawness. Known for DIY shows and cryptic album art, Reactant built a cult following before quietly disbanding in 2012.

A surprise 2023 reunion brought the *Crimson Executioner EP*, featuring singles like *Encapsulate* and *Alternate Source*, which rekindled their signature sound—angular riffs, blistering tempo shifts, and Rogers’ visceral lyrics. Though elusive about future plans, Reactant’s comeback solidified their legacy as pioneers of San Diego’s experimental rock wave.
