White Reaper – Asking for a Ride – Review

October 3, 2023

Tony Esposito went to the Kurt Cobain School of Unintelligible Lyrics, but he does it in a pop punk sense. There are real guitars here, like shredding guitars.

December 13, 2004

June 1, 2000

Keeping it short, ear to the ground, logical, almost compact and punky, within the golden-handcuffed confines of the tin-foil-on-a-filling Pantera screech.

January 1, 2000

You glance around to make sure no one sees you getting sentimental over dumb pop, but it’s dark already and the music really isn’t that bad.
