Flood Reactor
A dynamite stick firecracker musical duo, St. Augustine’s Flood Reactor is a mesh of acoustic track punk, traveling music, folk, alternative outlaw folk, and backwoods punk.
An energetic ensemble, St. Augustine's Flood Reactor is an intense musical duo that sheds light on human existence, existentialism, and matters of the heart. Drawing from the full palette of genres, Flood Reactor takes an uncommon approach and blends acoustic traveling music with track punk, alternative outlaw folk, and backwoods punk to form distinct, original tones that are individualistic to the ensemble. Flood Reactor is spearheaded by local musician Coby Neal on acoustic guitar with Kaelani Angelique on violin/fiddle. Together these two burn up the stage, reading each other during live performances like a favorite quote or poem. They just mesh well. Their on-stage chemistry highlights not only their deep love of music, but their natural ability to bring stories to the surface of the earth from beneath the heavy soil.
Originally from Albertville, Alabama, Coby lives by the "do-it-yourself" mantra, recording Flood Reactor's first six song demo, Money Mountain, released in January of 2017. Every song on the record is a gem, carefully crafted with the utmost intention and precision. Coby features an original instrumental entitled My Dog Rod that showcases the roots of his dynamic and energetic guitar style. The opening track, Floor Runner, features both members taking the lead singing a song of distant lost love, and the emotional baggage one travels with from city to city. This duo gets to the roots of the trees, letting go of judgment and delusion, to reveal a diamond mine of songs full of genuine emotion and life lessons.
