White Reaper Vinyl Records
The Kentucky rock & roll band White Reaper started off making rambunctious garage punk that balanced bubble gummy hooks with window-rattling energy. After a couple of releases, they took a step out of the garage to head back in time to the glittery, slickly polished AOR of the '80s on 2017's The World's Best American Band. It was a bold move and earned them a major-label deal with Elektra. Their first record for the legendary imprint, You Deserve Love, dug deeper into the '80s, adding more pop to the equation. Their next effort, 2023's Asking for a Ride, stripped away the pop and polish for a more immediate sound.
