White Reaper

White Reaper, from Louisville, KY, are the last of the great rock bands — or maybe just the first of the great new ones — fast, loud, amped-up and nervy, tracing their musical lineage from the same well of inspiration that gave us the no-nonsense sonic blasts of Van Halen and the heads-down power punk of the Ramones, with more than a dash of the adventurous pop-rock of Cheap Trick.
