Strong Reaction is the debut album of Pegboy.[3][4] It was released in 1991 through Quarterstick Records.[3]

Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote that "quibbles about the occasionally melodramatic lyrics, in which the passage into adulthood dissolves into tragedy, are obliterated by the ferocious attack."[5]

In a retrospective review, The A.V. Club wrote: "Skirting grunge, pop-punk, post-hardcore, and emo—all of which were erupting at the time—Strong Reaction has aged with a rugged grace that puts most of its contemporaries to shame."[6]
