“Fog Machine” By White Reaper

White Reaper have shared “Fog Machine,” a brand-new single off their forthcoming album Asking for a Ride, which will be released January 27th via Elektra. The track is accompanied by Max Moore.

Vocalist / guitarist Tony Esposito “Fog Machine” noting, “We had it in our back pocket for a while. We knew we loved playing it together, but it was a little tricky to nail the arrangement at first. We got it together at the last minute before we went into the studio and now it’s our favorite song to play live.” The track follows the album’s lead single “Pages”

Recorded and largely self-produced in Nashville with the help of close friend and engineer Jeremy Ferguson, Asking for a Ride finds the Louisville band taking a more direct and in-your-face approach, prioritizing the collection’s raw energy and its ability to translate live through ripping and nervy compositions. It’s White Reaper at their most exciting – dialing up the chrome-plated riffs and monster hooks – a welcome reminder of just how much fun rock music can be.

“We ask ourselves: ‘Does it sound good when we play it in the room together?’ And if it does, those are the songs we want to pursue,” Esposito noted. Guitarist Hunter Thompson concurred: “We started to recognize how we operate best as a band

White Reaper hit the road for their 2023 North American “Asking for a Ride” headline tour. The upcoming trek will feature special guests Narrow Head, Militarie Gun, Taipei Houston, and Mamalarky on select dates, and will kick off February 7, 2023. The forthcoming dates will see White Reaper’s long awaited return to touring after having spent years living on the road, headlining and supporting some of their idols – Pearl Jam, Weezer, and The Killers – while making festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more.
