SLOAN: A Tour de Force 2025 Tour
SLOAN is a Toronto-based rock band from Halifax, NS who first performed in Spring 1991. Comprised of bassist and vocalist Chris Murphy; guitarists/vocalists Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland; and drummer/vocalist Andrew Scott, the quartet possessed a rare chemistry from the start. There are so many highlights peppered throughout the 30-year history of Canadian indie-rock heroes SLOAN that set them well apart from the pack.
From the band's earliest home studio recordings that married their pop smarts with fizzy, fuzzed-out guitars; right up to their later efforts with multitudes in their track listings, ranging from Dylanesque streams of consciousness to short, sharp blasts of power pop --Somehow, it all remains quintessentially SLOAN.
SLOAN is credited as being a main instigator for the Canadian East Coast alternative scene of the early 1990's, garnering timely comparisons to the Seattle Grunge movement on the opposite West Coast. Over the course of their quarter-century career, SLOAN have amassed an outstanding collection of over 250 songs and more than 30 Singles with extensive airplay on Canadian rock radio. SLOAN has also received nine JUNO Award nominations, chosen "Best Alternative Album" in 1997 ("One Chord to Another"); with 11 East Coast Music Award nominations, including six awards for "Alternative Recording of the Year" (1996 & 1997), "Group of the Year" (1997), "Video of the Year" twice ("If It Feels Good Do It", 2002 and "The Rest of My Life" 2004); and "Rock Recording of the Year" in 2007, ("Never Hear the End of It").
SLOAN was also named one of Canada's Top Five Bands of All-Time in a CBC critics poll, recognized for such notable hits as Coax Me; Money City Maniacs; If It Feels Good Do It; The Other Man; Never Hear the End of It; and The Rest of My Life, to name just a few, (Please Click-on their sample YouTube links below).
