White Reaper release deluxe edition of latest album w/ two previously unreleased songs

White Reaper release deluxe edition of latest album w/ two previously unreleased songs
Salad Days

Co-headline tour with Drug Church starts this week support from SPY, Death Lens, Public Opinion. ‘Only Slightly Expanded’ out now via Blue Grape Music.

Last year band released their latest full-length, for their ability to tap into the urgency of their early work and apply it to ambitious new sounds and styles. Now they have released a deluxe version, packing previously unheard b-sides, including last month’s single ‘Need’ and two more new songs ‘Mold’ and ‘No Counter’. Both songs blend some hooky shimmer into White Reaper‘s trademark crunch, and they’re sure to sound great on the band’s upcoming North American co-headlining tour with punk heavyweights, Drug Church, which starts this week. Featuring support from SPY, Public Opinion, Death Lens, it’s a can’t miss tour for any loud music fan. See full itinerary below.

To make LP White Reaper overcame label upheaval, creative blocks, lineup changes, burnout, and more, and channelled those tumultuous years into an airtight half hour of undeniably great rock & roll. Self-produced by the band (vocalist/guitarist Tony Esposito, keyboardist Ryan Hater, and guitarist Hunter Thompson) and recorded with engineer Joey Oaxaca (Hunny, Mamalarky, Rocket), the record draws on elements of’90s alternative and darker sounds without ever sacrificing the infectious power pop core that makes White Reaper so appealing. It’s an expert balance that takes the band in exciting new directions while still feeling more confidently like band than ever.

1. Coma
