Sheer Mag

  • 8:00pm Wednesday, September 27, 2017

Sheer Mag is playing Hawthorne Theater on Sept. 27th in support of their debut album 'Need To Feel Your Love,' which was released last month to overwhelming critical acclaim.


In just a quick two years and never having released a full record or signed with a label - the band has played Coachella, Primavera, FYF, Australia’s legendary Meredith fest and made their TV debut a year ago on Seth Meyers.  They’ve organically grown into one of punk / indie rock's most important acts with little to no help, sticking to their DIY ethos. 


‘Need To Feel Your Love’ is politically charged. The first track “Meet Me In The Street” is about protest and the power of people walking together who may not know each other, but can feel a common goal of change.  “Expect the Bayonet” represents the current state of racism, bigotry and hypocrisy that runs through U.S. history while other tracks speak on political groups like Germany’s White Rose Collective during WWII or historic events such as the Stonewall Riots.


The rest of the record is about love and the natural and powerful gravitational pull that comes with it. Their sound is a soulful intersection of disco and rock from the late 70’s, that’s also inspired by the classic sound of Nile Rogers’ production. Led by the powerful and boisterous vocals of frontwoman, Tina Halladay, you can feel the spirit of Etta James as much as the rebellious energy of The Clash.
