Like everything White Reaper does, the band’s trajectory from regional act renowned for its high-intensity shows to national touring group was accomplished at the speed of 0 to 60. “We went all over the country and grew our hair out a little bit,”<\/em> says guitarist\/singer Tony Esposito about the past year spent on the road with the likes of Deerhoof, Young Widows, Priests, and more.<\/p>\n

After signing to Polyvinyl in early 2014 and releasing a self-titled EP that blasts through six tracks in a breakneck 15 minutes, the Reapers – Esposito, keyboardist Ryan Hater, bassist Sam Wilkerson, and drummer Nick Wilkerson – soon began working on new material to fill out their set.<\/p>\n

Enter ‘White Reaper Does It Again,’ the band’s raucous debut full-length from a bunch of barely 20-somethings who have more fun on a\u00a0Tuesday night\u00a0than you do on a Saturday.\u00a0It will be out via Polyvinyl on July 17 – pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recorded in White Reaper’s hometown of Louisville, KY, with engineer Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows, Coliseum),\u00a0WRDIA<\/em>\u00a0is a pure rock ‘n’ roll adrenaline shot: vicious guitar scratches, elastic bass, sugary keyboard leads, and a thudding drums that will inevitably give your heartbeat a new rhythm. Listen to Make Me Wanna Die<\/em> via Soundcloud below, which is lifted from the album.<\/p>\n
