Sheer Mag recently took the Tiny Desk concert stage, adding a unique twist by requesting a bagpipe player for their performance, showcasing their creativity and love for unexpected elements in their music. Known for their blend of punk, '70s hard rock, power-pop, and disco, Sheer Mag has been a prominent figure in the rock scene for the past decade. Led by Tina Halladay's soulful vocals and backed by the band's timeless riffs and raucous boogie, Sheer Mag's Tiny Desk concert featured songs from their discography, spanning from early 7-inch singles to their latest album, "Playing Favorites."

Formed in 2014 in Philadelphia by core members Christina Halladay, Matt Palmer, and siblings Kyle and Hart Seely, Sheer Mag's musical style embodies a mix of punk ethos and classic rock influences. After gaining attention with a series of EP releases, the band signed with Third Man Records and released their third album, "Playing Favorites," in March 2024. Noteworthy moments in their career include performing at Coachella 2016, appearing on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and having their track "Expect the Bayonet" featured as Bernie Sanders' rally walkout song in 2019. With a reputation for energetic live performances and a sound that pays homage to vintage rock while remaining fresh and unpredictable, Sheer Mag continues to captivate audiences with their infectious blend of genres and heartfelt music.
