Kentucky outfit White Reaper are releasing their third album, The World’s Best American Band, in April and today they’ve shared the title track following up lead single “Judy French,” which premiered last month.
The bold statement The World’s Best American Band is not only the title of their new album but also the band’s credo and even though it’s a serious statement it is being said with a sense of fun as the band set out to make a good ol’ fashioned in-your-face rock ’n’ roll record. When explaining the reason they have given themselves such a grandiose title guitarist/vocalist Tony Esposito said:
“Because we are the best. Just like Muhammad Ali was the greatest, you gotta say it out loud for people to believe it. We didn’t make this record or start this band because we wanted to come across in a single, certain way. We just make records that we’d want to hear. We started doing this because it’s fun as hell, just as much now as it was when we were 14.”
The new single begins with a background of applause, and throws a nod to the golden age of rock and roll and has the promise of being an incredible song to hear live. Which for those who live in the band’s home state of Kentucky will be as soon as the album release show on April 8th! “Come to the show, have a drink, have fun,” laughs Esposito. “But be nice to everybody, cause you’re gonna get real close.”
