COLIN SCHILLER & THE REACTIONS

Endless Holiday

 When groups do cheeseball ’80s revivalism they tend to focus on stiff, robotic New Wave or butt-wiggling hair metal. Credit Colin Schiller for trying something different. Following in the hallowed footsteps of Loverboy, the Romantics, “Glory Days”-era Springsteen and Huey Lewis and the News, Schiller and his Brooklyn crew make music for Friday at 5 p.m., when everyone in the office high-fives, loosens their ties and heads to happy hour. “I’m just a guy who knows what he wants,” Schiller sings on “Dizzy,” and what he wants is for his sax player to hop up on the bar and teach the ’10s about the glorious ways that ’80s rockers reimagined the ’50s.
