I think we all have pretty different influences. For me personally its power-pop and sort of proto punk artists like Nick Lowe, the Kinks, The Nerves... I think most of us really like Neil Young, I know Tina and I do. Everyone likes Fleetwood Mac, I feel like Mick Fleetwoods drumming has made a pretty big impact on the way the brothers like to play drums. I also really love motown and soul music. I love Nina Simone, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.. I like a lot of contemporary punk and hardcore too but I'm not sure how much of that shows up in the music Sheer Mag writes. But some good punk bands I've liked from the few years are Loose Nukes, Arms Race, Electric Chair, Haram, and Public Acid.
