White Reaper Is the World's Best American Band  | Quick 6

White Reaper is best described in a few short words: "fun as hell." The Louisville, Kentucky - based band is the sort of tried-and-true rock band that is not married to any particular brand of rock. Although their Elektra-records debut album, You Deserve Love, holds traces of classic rock, glam, New York indie, and a touch of good ol' fashioned Brit-rock, its sonic influences and inspirations serve as more of a testament to the band's mission statement - to live up to their self-adorned title of the world's best American band.

We had the pleasure of catching up with the world's best American band as part of our latest Quick 6 to talk everything from secret tattoos to the intricacies of coaching a proper barfight.  

Be sure to catch White Reaper on their North America headline tour!
