Announce ‘Only Slightly Expanded’ due out 03/13 via Blue Grape Music. Upcoming co-headlining Tour w/ Drug Church support from SPY, Death Lens, Public Opinion.

Last year band released their latest full-length drawing praise from fans and critics alike for their ability to tap into the urgency of their early work and apply it to ambitious new sounds and styles. Now White Reaper have announced a deluxe version, which packs three previously unheard b-sides, including today’s single ‘Need’. It is a tremendous cut of anthemic alternative rock and it’s sure to sound phenomenal live on White Reaper‘s upcoming North American co-headlining tour with punk heavyweights, Drug Church. Featuring support from SPY, Public Opinion, and Death Lens, it’s a must-see tour for any loud music fan. See full itinerary below.

1. Coma

To make ‘Only Slightly Empty’, 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 band so appealing. It’s an expert balance that takes the band in exciting new directions while still feeling more confidently like White Reaper than ever.
