In the past two years, Philadelphia arena-rock punks Sheer Mag have put out three EPs elucidating the myriad ways in which Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak” can be integrated into the Go Go’s “We Got The Beat” in order to create new wondrous rock and roll songs.

Sheer Mag didn’t quite top its best-ever song, 2015’s “Fan The Flames,” but the group did produce its most consistent EP, demonstrating new-found vulnerability on the kinda-ballad “Worth The Tears” to balance out the one that stomps like an S.O.B. (“Can’t Stop Fighting”), the one that swings like an S.O.B. (“Night Isn’t Bright”), and the one that swaggers like an S.O.B. (“Nobody’s Baby”).
