Sloan Artist Snapshot:

Canadian power-poppers Sloan started out like many bands in the early 1990s: classic rock-informed, punk-inflected, and not untouched by the growing grunge influence. With four talented songwriters in the band, the quartet had plenty of good material, as well as a fun-loving stage act and a good work ethic. They were signed to a major in 1992 just as they released their first EP on their own label, and managed to maintain the loyalty of their old fans while attracting tons of new ones as their major-label deal gave them greater exposure. By '96 that deal was over but, aside from a brief mid-90s hiatus, the band continued to self-release excellent albums and to perform for adoring fans.

Review

Magnet (pp.88-89) - "[N]early every track here sounds like a classic...A SIDES WIN is an infectious reminder of the Halifax quartet's way with a riff and a hook."

Title Note

The deluxe version contains a two-hour DVD featuring 15 music videos, film shorts, and documentary material.

Sloan: Jay Ferguson, Patrick Pentland (vocals, guitar); Chris Murphy (vocals, bass guitar); Andrew Scott (drums).

Between the years of 1992 and 2005, the Canadian quartet Sloan released numerous studio albums and the 1999 live document 4 NIGHTS AT THE PALAIS ROYALE. Sloan's combination of chiming, hook-heavy power pop and '70s hard-rock riffing lends itself perfectly to a singles format, making A SIDES WIN: SINGLES 1992-2005 a definitive document of the band's winning charms. The set begins with "Underwhelmed," the band's debut single, and continues through the garage-y "The Good in Everyone," the sunshine pop of "Everything You've Done Wrong," the ringing melodies of "Losing California," and the sleek, infectious rock of "All Used Up."

Sloan pushes all the right buttons with its high-octane guitar rock and knack for irrepressible hooks, referencing everyone from the Beatles to Big Star to Kiss along the way. Their sunny, memorable tunes enjoyed enormous success in Canada, but Sloan never got the attention they deserved in the States. A SIDES WIN, a beautifully packaged and sequenced collection, should help rectify that situation.
