"Playing Favorites is Sheer Mag's third full-length and first with Third Man Records. The band capitalize on a decade's worth of devotion to their own collective spirit -- a spirit refined in both the sweaty trenches of punk warehouses and the larger-than-life glamour of concert halls -- emerging with a dense work of gripping emotions, massive hooks, and masterfully constructed power-pop anthems. This is the record the Philadelphian rock and roll four-piece has always been destined to make."

"History has shown that the greatest bands -- bands with that certain, ever elusive quality called lasting power -- neither conform to nor buck the trends of their time, but rather force the times to catch up to them. Sheer Mag has such lasting power in droves. After almost a decade spent carving out a career that has already become the stuff of modern underground legend, the band's new stand-alone single, All Lined Up, comes alongside the announcement of their signing to Third Man Records -- their first partnership with a larger independent label -- who will also be physically and digitally re-releasing the entirety of Sheer Mag's back-catalogue, including their cult-beloved early EPs I (2014), II (2015), and III (2016), as well as their first two breakthrough LPs, Need To Feel Your Love (2017) and A Distant Call (2019). Sheer Mag's sensibility, as fervently beloved by baseball-tee clad garage rockers and tattoo-less indie kids as it is by leather-and-stud-loyal punks, finds its strength in an unconventional mixture of refined complexity and straight-forward pop prowess. Seamlessly trading between head-turning guitar heroics and a charmingly timeless blend of disco, hard rock, and garage inflected hooks, Sheer Mag's oft-referenced, never-replicated sound has played an undeniably large role in stoking the current resurgence of interest power-pop forward rock music. While quickly adopted as a fan-favorite amongst the sweat-caked crowds of the early 2010s underground, time has attested to Sheer Mag's singular cultural mutability: though never straying too far from their home-town Philadelphian origins."
