Sheer Mag back! The Philadelphia retro-punk band has kept up a steady tour schedule, but their most recent album was 2019’s A Distant Call. Today, they’ve returned with a new single, “All Lined Up,” and news that they’ve signed to Third Man Records, who are reissuing the band’s first three EPs on vinyl and putting out new editions of their two full-length albums.
“The genesis of ‘All Lined Up’ stems from late nights at the bar playing pool,” the band shared 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.”
The track’s music video, directed by the band’s own Matt Palmer, has some pool-playing action. Check it out below.
