A Distant Call is the second studio album by American band Sheer Mag. It was released on August 23, 2019, through Wilsuns Recording Company. The first single from the album, "Blood From A Stone," was released on June 19, 2019.

That band got so much air time in my parents’ house growing up long before I got into punk, classic rock, indie, whatever. His guitar style definitely had a huge influence on me – such a distinctive way of gluing the band together, adding lots of really int...
Kyle:My guitar parts are usually quite a bit more percussive, rhythmic and lead-y. Matt holds it down with clean strumming for the most part. Matt:Kyle’s a hotshot guitarist and I’m not. I’ve been working on being a more competent guitar player, but most of my focus musically goes towards the songwriting and lyrical side of things. Kyle is the sort...
Kyle: My favourite riff on the album is probably Keep On Running– that song got written with the Need To Feel Your Love batch but didn’t make it on the record, then we ended up using it as an intro to our sets.
