Tell Me Not to Hurt

The Psychotic Reactions are a 60s inspired garage trio hailing from the West Coast of Australia. The scruffy haired, Boorloo based group have been kicking around since 2016 and are renowned for their fuzzy vintage psych sounds and flawless ability to draw together sounds of nostalgic rhythm & blues, rock ‘n’ roll and jazz alongside intricate lyricism and meaningful storytelling. 
With a fiercely loyal fanbase and unique cross-genre sound, The Psychotic Reactions have very quickly become a well loved and highly praised band amongst all musical communities across WA.	

The band has supported musical legends Jebediah, The Murlocs, The Saints, The Stems, Davey Lane, Abbe May and Hideous Sun Demon, along with festival slots at Out Of The Woods, Nannup Music Festival, RTRFM’s In The Pines and West Australian Music Festival, and have toured both regionally and to the east coast.

The Psychotic Reactions have dropped numerous EP’s and their debut full length album in 2020 received a nomination for WAM’s Song of the Year for their popular release ‘Phone’. 
With overflowing support from fans, industry and fellow musicians, The Psychotic Reactions continue to create and release garage-psych rock bangers with 2025 looking at multiple single releases and the drop of their second album.
