White Reaper is a garage rock band that emerged in 2012 from Louisville, Kentucky to deliver their energetic power-pop sound that combines punk intensity with classic rock attitude. The band members Tony Esposito (vocals, guitar), Ryan Hater (keys), Nick Wilkerson (drums), Hunter Thompson (guitar) and Sam Wilkerson (bass) share a long history of friendship which powers their explosive live performances.

The band gained a devoted fan base through their unpolished sound and humorous confidence which appeared in their debut album White Reaper Does It Again (2015) and earlier EPs. The World’s Best American Band (2017) marked a new direction for the group as they fully embraced their love of arena-ready riffs and bold choruses while maintaining their gritty sound with tongue-in-cheek glam elements.
