Is this an authentic cry of "sellout"?! Made me feel warm with nostalgia
It's like I'm 14 again hanging out at Hot Topic with a Dropkick Murphys back patch safety pinned to my hoodie

i was worried for this band to try to make the leap they're making right now, but hot damn the album's great
designer types, help me out: how would you describe their distinctive logo? i have no idea what to call it ... if it even has a style or whatever
― alpine static, Sunday, 9 July 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
It's just a pastiche of the bass drum head logo of every mid level Midwestern hard rock club band circa 83

i got an email that they shipped the vinyl over the weekend. so stoked for this!
― cwkiii, Monday, 10 July 2017 14:53 (six years ago) link
i know part of the appeal of this is the lo-fi production meeting up with hard rock gestures but i'd also love if one day they put out a record that actually sounded like secret treaties
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 10 July 2017 15:22 (six years ago) link
anyway, this is great
need to buy a transistor radio to shunt this thru somehow
― j., Monday, 10 July 2017 18:18 (six years ago) link
ok yeah this is so good
― cwkiii, Friday, 14 July 2017 02:31 (six years ago) link
Hm, I dunno. I was giving it a listen earlier this evening, had to stop after a few songs. I can see what they're going for but the parts were greater than the sum.

good redcord. i wish the sound was a little dirtier, like the E.P's were.
― nostormo, Friday, 14 July 2017 06:06 (six years ago) link
saw these folks this weekend. holy fuckin' shit. killer live band.
they have 6 people out right now, 3 guitars. riff after riff after riff, like a brick to the face. and Tina's terrific.

new album cover is kinda their first misstep, i think? and i normally love Robert Beatty's stuff.
― alpine static, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:17 (four years ago) link
admittedly, this is not a big deal
i like the album art

well shit, it looks better there than it did on my phone this morning!
i don't love it as much as the first Sheer Mag, but i retract my previous comment. :)
― alpine static, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:24 (four years ago) link
first Sheer Mag *album*
That rules. Loved the first album, can't wait
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:31 (four years ago) link
album cover is great, very rainbow/thin lizzy
― old cloud yells at man (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link
from the bandcamp credits: "Narrative concept by Christina Halladay and Matt Palmer"that plus the cover does not bode well
― na (NA), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 19:22 (four years ago) link
will happily take an album of escapist sci fi prog silliness from them
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 20:54 (four years ago) link
the song sounds like all their other stuff \o/
― flopson, Thursday, 20 June 2019 02:01 (four years ago) link
Am listening to an advance now. Pleasant, I guess. (I don't hate them or anything, it's just...nice.)
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 June 2019 02:11 (four years ago) link
this came out last week!!

where are your heads at?! i depend on you to know important things!
― j., Tuesday, 27 August 2019 23:55 (four years ago) link
it's good, you'll like it!
― maffew12, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 00:15 (four years ago) link
my in-depth analysis is that it sounds like Sheer Mag
― alpine static, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 00:20 (four years ago) link
i am putting in a word for this band
― treeship., Saturday, 21 March 2020 18:11 (four years ago) link
the word is "good"
do you fuck with them
― j., Saturday, 21 March 2020 19:11 (four years ago) link
*bruce willis voice* welcome to the party, pal
― alpine static, Saturday, 21 March 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link
I am a petty son of a bitch so I have a hard time getting over the fact that when I ordered 7"s directly from the band they sent me multiple copies of the same one and ignored my emails about it. They are pretty good though. :)
― cwkiii, Saturday, 21 March 2020 20:25 (four years ago) link
this band is good
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 29 May 2020 16:58 (three years ago) link
saw their singer on tinder the last time they came to town
right swipe not reciprocated :(
― the burrito that defined a generation, Friday, 29 May 2020 17:07 (three years ago) link
Not sure what I think about the new one yet. It's fine and has all the elements I'd want from a great Sheer Mag record, but somehow it doesn't all come together for me.
