One of the pivotal bands for me growing up. God I love them
I think Twice Removed is still my favourite, followed by One Chord To Another. I think medcineman has a few words to say about that.
Still, they are recording a new album. Hope it's good. Action Pact only had a handful of good tracks

Sloan were pretty much the best and most consistent band ever until that last record.
I still loved it, though.
Yes, he was awesome.
If only they'd tour here...
it's all about navy blues for me. great song after great song. my appreciation for twice removed has been growing.
As far as the best overall album, its 'Between the Bridges' fer me, very underrated if'n you ask me.
Twice Removed! Hoorah!
Sloan!
Navy Blues for me too hillsong..
Rah! So much love for this band :)
you seem so hysterical about it
They are worth getting worked up over!
im your opinion, what would i know im just the other man
Oh man. Sloan!
'Deeper than Beauty' is some sort of geek-girl-lust anthem.
Yeah Twice Removed is sort of the perfect mix of noisy, angluar, weird Sloan and the pop Sloan.
Later records had great songs, but the last two records seemed a bit to classicist.
william why do you always speak like you are an authority on music, as if your opinion is the truth and the only truth! good on ya mate
Yeah. Didn't really get into Pretty Together and never bothered picking up Action Pact after listening to the leaked version.
Bit like The Lucksmiths, really. Started off interesting and raw in the 90's, hit the 2000's and got all boring and mopey and samey.
Between The Bridges for mine. There are a couple of records I haven't heard though...
Navy Blues is my favourite. It's killer from start to finish.
i'm a twice removed kinda gal. the sloan stories i could tell yas...
miles: come on! stories!

Missed the bloody TV show, damn...
BUT, I did finally succeed in filling the two missing pieces of my Sloan vinyl discography when I recently scored a copy of Between The Bridges and Twice Removed, each of 'em in beautiful condition too!
Someone should bring them out again. They're one of my favourite groups I reckon. I even like Action Pact!
The live TV show was not kind. Do they always sing that bad and I'm just too full of beer to notice?

Chris Injured In Hit And Run
Today at 13:59
Sloan's Chris Murphy was thrown from his bicycle when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver on the night of Friday, July 24th.
Chris is recovering at home having being released from the hospital the following morning. The impact resulted in a broken collarbone and an assortment of cuts and bruises. We're confident that he will have a full recovery and he has not sustained any critical injuries.
Witnesses were able to report the license number and model of the vehicle, and police are now investigating.
Sloan have had to cancel a number of their upcoming performances as Chris is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair his collarbone. The band hope to be back on schedule by the end of August, and currently intend to return to the stage for their V-fest performance in Burl’s Creek, ON on August 29th. The band plan to resume regular touring in October.
Please encourage your friends to bike safely. Always wear a helmet and use front and back lights and reflectors when driving at night.
Go easy on the windmills Chris.
Fuck Bigdaddycane's a fuckin gaylord, you would think he;s some kind of music geek or somethin
Just move the lovely Andy to the front while Chris recuperates
Fuck barrtown's a faggot, swearing to make himself seem tuffer and less into cock n balls.
