2023 release. Recorded and largely self-produced in Nashville with the help of close friend and engineer Jeremy Ferguson, Asking for a Ride finds the Louisville band taking a more direct and in-your-face approach, prioritizing the collection's raw energy and it's ability to translate live through ripping and nervy compositions. It's White Reaper at their most exciting - dialing up the chrome-plated riffs and monster hooks - a welcome reminder of just how much fun rock music can be. "We ask ourselves: 'Does it sound good when we play it in the room together?' And if it does, those are the songs we want to pursue," vocalist/guitarist Tony Esposito noted. Guitarist Hunter Thompson concurred: "We started to recognize how we operate best as a band."
