Rocktober '10s Song #20: "Make Me Wanna Die" by White Reaper (2015)

Our next Rocktober Halloween week song is from Louisville-based rockers White Reaper.  They got their name when they saw a Halloween decoration in a store.  It was the grim reaper, but all white.  I've seen these guys at a few music fests, and they're great live.  Their music spans from punk to garage rock to power pop to glam rock.

"Make Me Wanna Die" is the first track off of their 2015 debut album, White Reaper Does It Again.  It's a fuzzy garage rock song, and if I'm interpreting the video correctly, it's about the grim reaper quitting his soul reaping job and then doing normal human stuff, like rolling dice in a gangway, buying drugs, robbing a convenience store, getting kicked out of a bar, and getting arrested for public urination.
