White Reaper

White Reaper was formed by Tony Esposito and Nick Wilkerson while they were in High School. When they were 17 years old, they saw an entirely white Grim Reaper prop in a Halloween Express, becoming known as White Reaper thereafter[6]. The duo then recorded two demos, DEMO 2012 and WHITE AURA in 2012. A 7-inch featuring the songs "The Cut" and "Conspirator" was released in 2013 on Earthbound Records.[7] Wilkerson's twin brother Sam Wilkerson then joined the band as the bassist. Elementary school friend of Esposito and Keyboardist Ryan Hater would also join the band.

After signing to Polyvinyl Records in early 2014, their label debut EP White Reaper was released.[8] The band would follow it with a tour with Young Widows.[9] In 2015, White Reaper's first studio album White Reaper Does It Again was released on Polyvinyl Records. White Reaper would continue to tour and open for other bands such as Twin Peaks and Together Pangea. Guitarist Hunter Thompson would join the band in 2016.[10] Their second album The World's Best American Band would release in 2017. In 2018, White Reaper would continue to tour and play at festivals such as SXSW[11], as well as supporting others such as Weezer and Billy Idol.[12][13]

In 2019, White Reaper would sign with Elektra Records. Three singles were released from their upcoming albums in Summer of 2019. The song "Might Be Right" became the band's highest charting single, at #6 on the US Hot Rock Songs and #1 on the US Alternative Song chart.[14] White Reaper would play at the music festival Riot Fest and with The Killers. In October 2019, You Deserve Love was released, their major label debut. White Reaper appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in December 2019, playing "Might Be Right" and "Real Long Time".[15]
