White Reaper is not the name of a Pro Trump group, but a face melting rock act from Kentucky. Phew. Got that out of the way. The Polyvinyl quartet cherry picked the best of what T-Rex and Van Halen had to offer with fist-pumping guitar licks. The torn up jeans are thrown in for good measure, alongside the unironic mullet.
Check out their Simon Young animated video in conjunction with Funny or Die for the hyperbolic, “The World’s Best American Band.” Look for the guys on tour with the likes of Spoon, Twin Peaks and Diarrhea Planet.
