CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The real attraction is
White Mystery, the new duo forged by Miss Alex White, best known as the guitar-wielding blowtorch in her long-running gig with the Red Orchestra. With drummer Francis White, she reduces her love of soul-fired garage rock to its butt-kicking essence.
CHICAGO READER: Critics Choice
Comprised of homegrown garage diva Alex White and her younger brother, Francis... Reader critic Brian Costello calls White's newest project a combination of "gleeful (Billy) Childish-ness and swaggering Monks-y stomp." Link
GAPERS BLOCK: Transmission
If you're a fan of stripped down garage rock, loud drums, and/or redheads, meet your perfect match. White Mystery is the two-piece brother/sister duo of Alex and Francis White. Alex is best known as the guitar rockin' front women of Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra, but with her latest venture with brother Francis, she strips it down to a guitar and heavy-handed drum garage rock sound. The twosome put on an energetic show, and had one of the most killer tambourine and guitar rock outs I've ever seen recently when they appeared in ChicaGoGo. Link

Everyone's favorite redheaded button making rock 'n' roll power duo, White Mystery, are keeping it busy this summer. Link
SAILOR JERRY
The newest project from everyone's favourite mop-topped redhead Alex White. This time around Alex decided to show us bit of her minimalist side as the band is merely a two piece. But, with Alex's distinctive howl and here brother's pounding rhythms it sounds more like an army of gingers! Link

RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES
First and best is the entry from Chicago's White Mystery. Featuring Miss Alex White, who has torn things up in bands around Chicago and on In The Red for years. Here Alex is joined by her brother and the fluffy red hair gets flying with stripped down, raw
garage pop that sounds like some of the best she's turned out yet. After hearing this 7" my hopes are high that there's a full length in the works.

EAST MEETS LEFT
"YOU'RE LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE NO, WAIT, THAT WAS MY MISTAKE" This song feels naked, and there's good reason for that -- you have a garage-rock duo here, not unlike The White Stripes -- but this band doesn't overlay guitars on top of guitars. There is a single guitar, a drum kit, and a certain Miss Alex White shout-singing. Alex White was one of the acts that pulled me into garage rock a few years ago, highlighted by the exceptional song Future Talk. She came around this late summer minus the Red Orchestra and gives us a gritty, powerful tune. This song holds such electricity, the interplay between the guitar and the drums is perfect: Like two people on stage having such banter that the audience seems secondary. You are allowed to be there, by the grace of god.
