Sheer Mag are a
pop band from Philadelphia, though calling them that isn’t enough justice
that I am giving them. They’re not just a pop band. They’re
a spectacular and creative band.
I was first
introduced to this when the main member of Cyberbully Mom Club (another special
act from Philadelphia) posted the link of the record and I was lucky enough to
find it on my Tumblr feed. The members of Sheer Mag first displayed it on
bandcamp for the price of $100,000 from what I can remember, that was the case
before the actual release date - wonder if anyone actually payed that much… If
I owned that kind of money I would’ve spent every cent on this. This is
one of those releases where you can’t wait to get your hands on and loading
the bandcamp page every time you want to listen to it just isn’t
enough.
The first song, “What
You Want,” which I consider a single since everybody could be easily
attached to this track, fully grips you with terrific, crunchy and twangy
guitar riffs like the rest of the tracks. It is a release filled with memorable
guitar work with rather minimal and crisp drumming. Additionally with
extraordinary guitar solos in every song, it give it a more rock n’ roll
essence to it. Sheer Mag is fronted by a female singer that holds several vocal
dynamics, but are mostly shouted lyrics in the most alluring way possible.
Originally
released as a 7,” this is going to be available as a
cassette release very soon, so look out to getting it and support this upcoming
band!
