SLOAN - Completely underrated band

[brigden]

Got off work early this afternoon, and since there's no roommates around I've been blasting my stereo. Had the playlist on random, when it came to Sloan. I've been a fan for years and years, but I haven't been playing their stuff lately.

What a mistake; this band is so underrated.

I spied the band's official site and discovered they're releasing a new album on August 19th, with a single to hit airwaves in early July.

If you love the band, revisit their albums, if you've never heard of this brilliant rock quartet, here are my favourite tracks (in no order):

• Coax Me
  Everything You've Done Wrong
  G Turns To D
  If It Feels Good, Do It
  Losing California
  Money City Maniacs
  People Of The Sky
  She Says What She Means
  The Good In Everyone
  The Lines You Amend
  The Other Man
  Underwhelmed

Check 'em out.

Doesn't that mean elephant in russian?

 

[Toasthead]

never heard of them. What type of music?

 

[UglyCasanova]

Co0l. Check out dorkweed for another great underappreciated band.

 

[toekramp]

sloan is alright...nothing that great though; seen them a few times live so my opinion has to count for something

 

[UglyCasanova]

Also, is that Corey Feldman?

 

[FrogDog]

YES! Sloan rocks! And they're from my hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia! I've been listening to them for years, and they're one of my favorite bands. In addition to the songs brigden mentioned, check out 500 Up, Dreaming of You and Pretty Together.

Edit - The type of music they play is basically 'Rock and Roll'. Whatever that is, now-a-days...

that spelling of accurate however, is not.

Unfortunately I wish I could agree but I can't. Since I'm from the same place as frogdog I feel I've been exposed adequately to them. Their sound to me appears as if the only influence on their music is the beetles. Since I don't like the beetles I don't like sloan. They have in my opinion one good song and one ok song. If anything I'd say they're overrated because really they belong in nothing greater than a city-wide gig circuit (no larger) playing for free drinks and maybe cab fare.

Touché.

BTW, if you really want to be pedantic, your sentence should have been:

"That spelling of accurate, however, is not."

Sloan rock!
