Sheer Terror vocalist Paul Bearer begs promoters to not share line ups with 'beat down' bands

Sheer Terror frontman Paul Bearer recently aired some grievances on Instagram, addressing issues with show promoters ahead of the band's upcoming dates next month. In a pair of reels, Bearer called out common mistakes he finds "annoying," particularly regarding promotional materials and lineup curation.

In the first clip, Bearer urged promoters and flyer designers to avoid using outdated band photos, especially ones featuring former members. He emphasized that these errors misrepresent the current lineup, adding, "It's annoying."

The second clip, which has gained more traction, features Bearer "begging" promoters to stop pairing Sheer Terror with "beatdown" hardcore bands. He stated, "We're not a beatdown band, and beatdown fans don't enjoy Sheer Terror."

The band is set to hit the stage next month, and fans will be watching to see how promoters handle these requests moving forward.
