Polyvinyl Record Co. Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 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,” says guitarist/singer Tony Esposito about the past year spent on the road with the likes of Deerhoof, Young Widows, Priests, and more. 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. Enter White Reaper Does It Again: a raucous debut full-length from a bunch of barely 20-somethings who have more fun on a Tuesday night than you do on a Saturday. Recorded in White Reaper’s hometown of Louisville, KY, with engineer Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows, Coliseum), WRDIA is a pure rock ’n’ roll adrenaline shot: vicious guitar scratches, elastic bass, sugary keyboard leads, and thudding drums that will inevitably give your heartbeat a new rhythm. Available on Early Bird Edition 180-gram Clear w/ Black Splatter and 180-Gram Clear Purple vinyl. Includes 18x24" poster!

Blaine Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I received the pre-order email a few days ago, and picked up both variants of the record, and the tape, immediately. Polyvinyl Record Co. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I loved the EP, and I can't believe I almost forgot to pick up an early bird edition. I'm glad I was able to resolve that egregious error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyrobotty Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 at the speed of 0 to 60. 0 to 60 could take any amount of time. What a silly write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
