Louisville garage punks White Reaper hold the distinction of headlining what was perhaps our most memorable and most chaotic Acme showcase ever, bringing their energetic and unpredictable live show to the downtown rooftop back in 2015 (their first Music City show aside from a Grimey’s in-store), along with Daddy Issues and Jawws. They’ve been back a few…

More than two years after the release of their debut EP, Foreign Chords, eclectic local rockers and longtime fiends of the site Waterfall Wash have finally debuted their followup, a new EP called Become What You See, which arrived today, March 31.
