"And it feels like this!"

The Count Five are easily classified as a rock and roll one hit wonder, yet they were not lost to the realms of obscurity.

"Psychotic Reaction" was their only hit. It's pure garage rock with a punk ethos and, fittingly, strains of the psychedelic sound that was on the verger of breaking big.

Perhaps that's why they weren't forgotten like so many of their contemporaries.

Listen to the Yardbirds inspired riffing, as well as the changes of tempo (written to mimic the effects of a real psychotic reaction).
