“Might Be Right” White Reaper

White Reaper have shared a new single/video “Might Be Right.” Directed by Daniel Ryan, “Might Be Right” marks the first new music from White Reaper since the release of their celebrated 2017 LP, The World’s Best American Band.
Vocalist / guitarist Tony Esposito recounts, “I remember seeing the big Elektra ‘E’ on the back of so many of my favorite Cars, Doors, Queen and Metallica records. I still can’t believe it.” Drummer Nick Wilkerson added, “It’s awesome to be a part of a label with such rich history.” This fall White Reaper will embark on a North American headline tour set to get underway October 3rd at St. Louis, Missouri’s The Firebird with support from The Dirty Nil and The Nude Party, plus special guests The Paranoyds, Criminal Hygiene, and Wombo joining on select dates.

Currently, White Reaper are prepping their Elektra Records debut LP, which finds the band packing classic rock with grinning twin guitar leads into masterly crafted pop songs. Expected later this year, the album will follow 2017’s The World’s Best American Band.  Comprised of Tony Esposito (guitar / vocals), Ryan Hater (keyboards), Sam Wilkerson (bass), Nick Wilkerson (drums), and Hunter Thompson (guitar), White Reaper have spent the last two years living on the road, headlining and supporting some of their idols – The Killers, Spoon, and Weezer – while making festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more.
