Philadelphia band Sheer Mag blew my mind when I unintentionally heard their live set opening for Ex Hex back in April 2015. Led by ferocious front woman Christina Halladay, they are hands down one of the best up and coming rock bands on the scene right now. Get into their new single “Can’t Stop Fighting” and hope for more to come asap!
Sheer Mag’s appeal is best exhibited in a live setting, where Christina Halladay’s forceful wail is drives the palpable energy at the band’s live sets. Sonically, the band channels late-70s glam rock vibes with Thin Lizzy licks for loud and obnoxious—but not necessarily scuzzy—sound. Lyrically, it references the horror of the countless unsolved murders in the Mexican border city of Juarez, ground zero for the importation of drugs into the United States. Like the best rock and roll, it’ll make you move, then make you think.
