The garage punk quartet from the Bluegrass State threaten to break out of the garage for good on their sophomore outing. Based on this LP, I have a sneaky feeling that they’d be a ripping good time live .With that in mind, the Kentucky quartet open the album with some crowd noise piped in before launching into the title track that does nothing to dissuade your from giving their boastful title some serious consideration.

In between the excellent opener and the fiery closer, Another Day, the boys will light a fire in the part of your soul that likes rocking. A wonderful blend of 80s hair metal, pop-punk and garage rock, White Reaper is straight up rock n roll with no apologies. grab your bandana and enjoy tunes like “Judy French”, “Party Next Door “and “Tell Me”.
I’d add them to your must-see list. While they might not be The World’s Best American Band, yet; but they’ve certainly released one of 2017′s best albums.
Give White Reaper credit. They go to great lengths to make sure they get a pat on the back, even if only from themselves. After a fun-filled full-length debut dubbed “White Reaper Does It Again”, they returned with a second offering called The World’s Best American Band. And as a stadium crowd surges at the beginning of the record’s opening title track, listeners find themselves both wanting to and starting to believe them. After a debut where most songs felt like bank robbers making for state lines with the law in hot pursuit, here the band expand their sound (in both scope and variety) and learn to shift between gears without losing the joyful abandon that appealed to listeners the first time around. White Reaper might not be the best American band just yet, but once you drop the needle on this record, no other band will matter for the time being.
