Sheer Mag reveal new album 'Playing Favorites,' new single, and 2024 spring tour dates
Philadelphia punk band Sheer Mag will deliver a new album and headlining tour in 2024.
Announced today, Playing Favorites will be released on March 1 via Third Man Records. The 11-track album follows Sheer Mag’s 2019 studio album A Distant Call. The title track (and opening track) for the new album is out now with a music video directed and photographed by Craig Scheihing. The visual follows the band as they hit the road on tour.
Sheer Mag said this about the new song:
“After nearly ten years of touring together, we felt qualified to write a song about doing it. It's a good introduction to the next era of Sheer Mag.”
Sheer Mag have also announced a North American headlining tour, which kicks off on March 29 at Washington, DC’s Songbyrd. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets for their trek will go on sale to the general public tomorrow (November 10) at 10 a.m. local time here.
Later this month, Sheer Mag will open for Baroness in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Tickets for these shows are on sale to the general public right now.
