Hard rocks value as an emancipatory symbol has, of course, diminished since its 1970s heyday. But Sheer Mags audacity, in reclaiming an era of working-class music that nobody takes seriously anymore, is central to their appeal. Plenty of throwback rock groups, taking after Weezer, would sooner invert cock-rock chauvinism with self-deprecation or slacker charm. But throughout Compilation LP, Sheer Mag play by the riff-rock rulespower chords empower, solos blaze, and choruses rally. They identify in Thin Lizzys swagger an underdog spirit that can be repurposed without irony. Matched to the groups us-vs.-them narratives, hard-rock brawn becomes a crudely effective vehicle for political urgency.
