White Reaper presale codes

Drug Church came out of Albany, blending hardcore bite with tuneful, talk-sung hooks from a sardonic frontperson.

Two paths, one noisy sweet spot

White Reaper grew from Louisville garage shows into a power-pop outfit with a punk engine, built on bright keys and twin guitars.

Songs to expect, people you will see

Expect a sharp, no-frills run that could pull Weed Pin and Million Miles of Fun from Drug Church, and Might Be Right and Judy French from White Reaper. The room skews mixed-age, with patched jackets next to clean polos, people trading zine notes, and friends timing pit bursts to the fast parts. You will also see power-pop heads up front singing every chorus while hardcore kids post on the sides to keep space clear. Trivia: their singer co-hosts the long-running Ax to Grind podcast, and White Reaper moved from early Polyvinyl releases to a major-label era that still keeps their basement-show humor. All talk of songs and stage touches here is inference from recent patterns, not a promise.

The Drug Church x White Reaper scene up close

You will see denim jackets with old punk back patches next to bright striped tees and slick leather boots that nod to power-pop style.

Denim, stripes, and scuffed soles

Caps and beanies are common, but so are clean button-downs, which fits a night that swings between bite and sparkle.

Shared rituals, low drama

Chants pop up on big hooks, with people yelling the closing lines of Million Miles of Fun and the chorus of Might Be Right without being told. Pits stay friendly and brief, and when the hook hits, the floor tightens for a choir-style sing. Merch tables lean into bold fonts, bright oranges and reds, and affordable caps, plus vinyl for folks who want the clean studio punch. Between sets, fans trade quick show memories and compare favorite deep cuts, and the tone stays neighborly even when the volume spikes.

How Drug Church and White Reaper build the rush

Drug Church keeps vocals dry and forward, letting the guitars grind midrange while drums punch in short bursts, which makes the talk-sung lines feel conversational but sharp.

Hooks in rough denim

They often shave intros and hit the verse on the first downbeat, so songs feel like they start mid-stride and never let up.

Small choices, big lift

White Reaper leans into bright chord moves and twin-guitar harmonies, with the keys doubling a hook to add shimmer without softening the bite. Both bands prefer tight arrangements over long jams, and they push tempos a notch faster live to lift the room. A neat live quirk: Drug Church sometimes extends an outro into a stomp while the vocal repeats a single phrase, giving the crowd a clear place to shout. Lighting tends to mirror the music, mostly bold color washes and quick strobe hits on drum accents rather than big scenic moments.

Where Drug Church and White Reaper fans also roam

Fans of PUP tend to click with this night because both bands prize big sing-alongs over posturing and keep tempos brisk.

Neighboring sounds on the bill

Joyce Manor lands nearby in the map, with short, hooky songs that cut right to the feeling and a similar blend of punk grit and pop sense.

Why these crowds cross paths

If you like the joyful bounce and inclusive pits of Turnstile, Drug Church scratches the tougher, talky side while White Reaper answers with candy-coated leads. For guitar-forward anthem lovers, The Dirty Nil brings the same volume-first charm and shoutable refrains that turn a floor into a choir. Each act draws people who value melody delivered at volume, which is the shared center of this bill.
