Sheer Mag is a rock band from Philadelphia formed in 2014. A combination of 1970s rock and punk ethos, the band continued to gather attention and has released three 7-inch singles as of March 2016.[2][3] In January 2015, Rolling Stone featured the band as one of "10 New Artists You Need To Know", describing them as "a gang of punks with a not-so-secret love of Seventies classic rock."[1][4][5] Four of five band members attended the State University of New York at Purchase.[3] The band is part of the Coachella 2016 line-up.[6] Performed on Late Night with Seth Myers in 2016.[7]
