I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sheer Mag is the greatest living American rock band
npr.org
The Philly band, a force for good in rock and roll, runs through a career-spanning set with a little help from some bagpipes.

Sheer Mag, to me, not only embodies the edges of rock but also its spirit of fun. So, yeah, when Sheer Mag asked me to find a bagpipe player for its Tiny Desk, we found Tim Carey, who played the first-ever WrestleMania. RIDICULOUS. And perfect. https://t.co/bIwPZVY8Ef

10 years ago today, NPR Music launched its new homepage with @TPAIN's autotune-less Tiny Desk; it changed the game for both. (I pushed the button.) https://t.co/NdZHijL0po

I'd never heard Sarah Hennies' mid-'90s Louisville skronk post-hardcore band before now! Major FFO: Rodan, Slint, Fugazi. Thanks @TempResLtd for putting this together!

Underneath sounds like turn-of-millennium Zao with deathcore riffs and slam snares, so I'm into it, ofc.

When I first shouted out this band, I gave the FFO: Broadcast, Can, the United States of America. Love this cover!
Sup! New tunes, some flexis, and a few shows to round out the year. Our take on "Coming Down" by the United States of America and another new experimental song. Listen and by below. https://t.co/U7CtkWWI9z

In the past few years, I've noticed a return to the early 2000s Time-Lag/Three Lobed/VHF sound -- droney, lengthy, noisy rock improv and psych -- and, I, for one, welcome back this heady space.
