About Sheer Mag
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Sheer Mag have labored to carve out a discernibly singular position within the canon of contemporary rock: toggling with ease between the refined flourishes of a “connoisseur’s band” and the ecstatic colloquialism of populist songwriting—yet displaying no strict loyalty to either camp—their sound, while oft-referenced, is unmistakably and immediately recognizable as theirs alone. On Playing Favorites, Sheer Mag’s third full-length and first with Third Man Records, the band capitalize on a decade’s worth of devotion to their own collective spirit—a spirit refined in both the sweaty trenches of punk warehouses and the larger-than-life glamour of concert halls—emerging with a dense work of gripping emotions, massive hooks, and masterfully constructed power-pop anthems.

About Gripper
Website | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify
Gripper spent his early years playing in garage punk bands, splicing together funk, disco and electro tapes, and listening to pirate soul stations and early New York mix tapes. Throw in long, late night sessions with John Peel and The Old Grey Whistle Test, and it’s no surprise that he was soon collecting vinyl. Obsessively.
This obsession led to a long and respected DJ career during which he’s played at underground parties around the world whilst promoting club nights in his home town of Barrow-in-Furness.
