White Reaper are celebrating their signing to Elektra Records with a brand new track,
“Might Be Right”.
Marking the garage rockers’ first music since 2017’s great LP, The World’s Best American Band, “Might Be Right” signals the sound they’re bringing to their new label home. Classically glam-y riffs are highlighted thanks to dual guitarists Tony Esposito and Hunter Thompson. The band’s rock ‘n roll bonafides remain firmly intact, as well, especially in the lyrics about doubted love.
The song comes to us via a Daniel Ryan-directed video that’s full of sharp lines and solid colors. Watch it below.
“Might Be Right” is our first sample of White Reapers’ forthcoming full-length, which is being produced by Jay Joyce. Expected later this year, the album is said to blend “nu-disco boogie and grinning twin guitar leads into masterly crafted pop songs.”
Hopefully we’ll get more tastes of the new tunes on the band’s forthcoming tour. After a summer run with Twen, White Reaper will kick off a newly-announced fall leg in St. Louis. They’ll hit Denver, Phoenix, Austin, New York, Toronto, Sal Lake City, Vancouver, Sacramento, Detroit, and more along the way, playing with acts like The Nude Party, The Paranoyds, and Criminal Hygiene. Find their full itinerary below, and check for tickets here.
