While the early 90’s grunge scene in Seattle set the tone commercially for a new era in music, there was a similarly subversive thing happening on the east coast of Canada led by a quartet of multi-talented musicians who captured the heart of Halifax with their blend of pop smarts, fuzzed-out guitar licks, Dylanesque streams of consciousness, and acute blasts of power pop. Legendary rock band Sloan built their identity on a synergistic collision of skillsets from each multi-talented band member, all of whom contribute to songwriting and vocals. For live performances, they switch instruments accordingly, but most commonly you will see Chris Murphy on bass, Patrick Pentland on lead guitar, Jay Ferguson on rhythm guitar, and Andrew Scott on drums.
