Made In America - WHITE REAPER, "White Reaper" EP (2014)

Louisville, Kentucky garage-punk rockers White Reaper are the latest noise-makers to emerge from Louisville's burgeoning DIY scene. The trio, made up of Tony Esposito (vocals/guitar) and twin brothers Nick (drums) and Sam Wilkerson (bass) have developed a knack for writing noisy, amp-melting tunes that let you in, shove you around for two or three minutes, and leave you standing in a puddle of you own sweat with your ears ringing.

White Reaper's self-titled debut EP is set for a June 24th release on Polyvinyl Records and promises fast-paced scuzzy sonic deliciousness that bleed from the same vein as Ty Segall or a lightly sweetened MC5 with the pedal to the metal.

Made In America - GENERATIONALS, "Heza" (2013)

Last week we brought you Dumb Numbers, the super group that tread heavily into early grunge inching their way into near doom territory. That fit the mood I was in last week. Lately I've been in the mood for some tuneage of the poppier variety and Generationals scratches that itch nicely.

Heza, out on Polyvinyl Records is the third album released by the New Orleans, Louisiana based duo. Fans of the T.V. show Grey's Anatomy might know Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer's former band The Eames Era. After the breakup of The Eames Era, the two remaining members formed Generationals in 2009.
