Punk band Sheer Mag have shared their first new music since 2019. "All Lined Up" is a raw and melancholic garage rock song delivered from the very last moments of closing time. Check out the video below.
"The genesis of ‘All Lined Up’ stems from late nights at the bar playing pool," the band says in a statement. "Last call has long come and gone, the gate is down, the ashtrays are out and your friend behind the bar is giving it all away. Despite the revelry, there’s a looming sense of dread—a fear that no matter how far ahead you get, all it takes is one bad shot to lose the game.”
"All Lined Up," comes alongside the announcement that the band has signed to Third Man Records. Jack White's label will be re-releasing the Sheer Mag’s back-catalogue, both physically and digitally, on October 27. The re-releases include the band's early EPs as well as their first two albums; 2017's Need To Feel Your Love (2017) and A Distant Call (2019).
In addition to the new music and label news, Sheer Mag has also announced a raft of upcoming tour dates. The band are scheduled to play a bunch of dates this month before returning to the road in October, where they will be joined by Baroness and label mates Hotline TNT.
