Mad Mackerel Recommends… White Reaper

Louisville, Kentucky’s White Reaper are a raucous and strident three piece that combine sparkling hooks with fluid, fluttering rhythms to create psychedelia-tinged garage punk that doesn’t sacrifice an ounce of sonic bite. Their self-titled debut EP is a six-song blitzkrieg that traces the band’s present and future. Check out the dingy and jangly single Conspirator and the more urgent, spasmodic jerkiness of Half Bad complete with freaky keyboard riff…. . … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… White Reaper
