On the Tiny Desk, we like to entertain surprising requests from artists: American Soccer introduced in a youngsters’s choir; Tyler, the Creator’s workforce lit our “stage” for a nighttime efficiency. These can definitely make a efficiency stand out, but in addition lengthen the vary of an artist’s creativity. So when Sheer Magazine requested if we knew a bagpipe participant within the D.C. space, we discovered Tim Carey, who additionally simply so occurred to have performed the first-ever WrestleMania in 1985. If this bagpiper’s ok for Roddy Piper, then he’s ok for Sheer Magazine.
Solid in punk and steeped in ‘70s exhausting rock, power-pop and disco, Sheer Magazine has been a drive for good in rock and roll for the previous decade. The band doesn’t recreate or revive, however really lives contained in the blood, sweat and tears of this music — it’s enjoyable and unpredictable, but harmonious and homey. That’s why this Tiny Desk appears like a well-earned victory lap, that includes songs throughout the Philly band’s catalog, from its early 7-inch singles to its newest album, Enjoying Favorites. The riffs are timeless, the boogie is raucous, the guitar solos are sweaty and Tina Halladay’s voice is a soulful sneer that may set your coronary heart aflame.
