ANIMATED VIDEO DEBUTS AT FUNNY OR DIE
THE WORLD’S BEST AMERICAN BAND OUT NOW ON POLYVINYL RECORDS
Louisville’s White Reaper is currently touring the US in support of their acclaimed new album, The World’s Best American Band, and today they’ve shared the Simon Young-animated video for the title track with Funny or Die. Watch the video at Youtube HERE.
Make sure to come out and see why people are singing the praises about this band, like when NPR caught them at this year’s SXSW… “White Reaper’s latest single is called ‘The World’s Best American Band,’ which might seem a little hyperbolic until you’ve seen it live.” Due to popular demand, they have added a second, earlier show on May 30th at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right. They have also announced a string of tour dates with Spoon later this summer in addition to major festival plays at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Festival in October.

Find out why everyone just wants to rock out with White Reaper
“True to its title, the record collects the band’s classic rock influences into a half-hour of beer-swilling, riff-fueled nuggets.” – Entertainment Weekly
“If the title of their new album, ‘The World’s Best American Band,’ is to be believed, yes. Yes they are.” – Noisey
“The World’s Best American Band will likely rank among the year’s very best car-stereo rock records. It demands to be played at a high volume, preferably while driving slightly too fast down an open road.” – Uproxx
“White Reaper’s latest single is called ‘The World’s Best American Band,’ which might seem a little hyperbolic until you’ve seen it live.” – NPR
“White Reaper shred hard.” – CLRVYNT
“It’s [Judy French] a power-pop radio-blaster built from old Camaro parts, and you won’t be surprised to learn that it’s rad as hell.” – Stereogum
“the album’s title track and it is a pretty great slice of all American power-pop, with a scoop of ice cream on the top.” – Under The Radar
“The garage punks made a good case for such a self-proclamation on previous single “‘Judy French’, but their new title track may have just 110% sealed the deal – it’s time to hand out the trophies.” – Consequence of Sound
