Sloooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan . If we were looking for one Halifax-related band that needs absolutely zero assistance from the hill to spread their news, you'd struggle to find a better example than the current Grandaddies of Halifax music scene: the almighty Sloan. But yes, Sloan is back on the scene with their 10th studio album in 20 years, The Double Cross . Not only that, but next month they will embark on a rather large North American tour over the spring and summer to celebrate both the new record and their 20 years in the biz. [...]
Andre Guerette I have a confession to make; I lied to you. Or more accurately, I misled you. When I wrote up Miracle Fortress' performance at Canadian Musicfest last month , I made it out that I was as in the dark about what Graham Van Pelt had in store for album number two as most everyone else, and that my insights were based entirely on the show. This was not true. In fact, I'd gotten advanced a copy of Was I The Wave? a week [...]

You can pre-order the effort now if you'd like, in the US here: http://bit.ly/yeprocpreorder, or in Canada [...]
Frank Yang When you've been through town as an opener as many times as Sharon Van Etten has - four times in just over a year with Rain Machine , Great Lake Swimmers , Megafaun and Junip - I think the hope is that you'll have garnered enough of your own fans that when you make your headlining debut, as she did at The Drake Underground on Tuesday night, some people come out. I ended up running a bit late and thus missed Picastro's opening [...]
Frank Yang Kingston duo PS I Love You has done a pretty good job for themselves of building a buzz around both themselves and their debut album Meet Me At The Muster Station , with their guitar orgiastic-sound resonating strongly with those who lived through and miss the days when guitar orgies were regular occurrences. But they've also gotten help with the company they keep, in particular one John O'Reagan, aka Diamond Rings , whose debut single was a split 73 with PS I Love You and with whom [...]

Canvas Media There's records that you hear and, regardless of how you personally feel about them, you know that they will be a big thing, that their contents will resonate with the masses and will prove to be game-changers for the artist who created it. Timber Timbre's 2009 self-titled album was not one of these, or at least I didn't hear it. Building swampy textures and tempos around Taylor Kirk's low, drawling Randy Newman-ish vocals, it didn't seem the sort of record with a lot of crossover appeal and yet it did [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Awards , Junos Chris Young, CP There was plenty of gear at Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum, just not the type usually affiliated with Canadian musicians. The Juno Cup, an annual celebrity hockey game pitting former National Hockey League players (NHL Greats) against a team of Canadian artists (The Rockers), held its practice Thursday afternoon to prepare for the big game tonight. And for Billy Talent [...]
Sloan "Unkind" There are other songs on Sloan's new album The Double Cross that grabbed my attention more quickly, and I'll get to them later on. Weirdly, those songs were more subtle and understated - Andrew Scott's lovely ballad "Laying So Low," Chris Murphy's retro-pop "Shadow of Love," Jay Ferguson stately "Beverley Terrace." "Unkind," a Patrick Pentland number, is one of his riffy stompy tunes and it just sorta pushed its way into my brain and has barely left for weeks. The only song that can knock it out of my mind lately is [...]

To put it simply, the world is shaking. Unlike the quivering Elvis caused in the hips of every 19502s female, these tremors are caused by bricks, bullets, and fists. During these tumultuous times, one constant is the power of music. Music alone finds its way into any and every crevasse in the world, no matter what the political upheaval or econo mic situation. In these trying - but monumental - times, let Sloane Companion comfort your fears and fuel the will of those who stand in the face of oppression. Shake on. DOWNLOAD [...]

Ellos dicen que tienen la sensación de que es una de sus mejores entregas, y a juzgar por el adelanto, la cosa pinta realmente bien. Follow The Leader.mp3
I've been listening to WFMU since highschool and there has never been any shortage of original entertainment left of the dial on 91.1. from talking dial-in shows hosted by the likes of writer Tom Scharpling or 7 Second Delay where there is really no point other than asking people some mundane things for an hour. On the flip side I've discovered so much amazing music it's even hard to fathom the audible experience without them anymore - trust me you won't be able to keep up. So if yer some sort of hipster (you [...]

![[Listen/Download] Sloan- Follow the Leader](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3252817_lg.jpg)
by teepoo When I think of Sloan, I always think of the 902s but the dudes are still pretty much rocking it still. I can't believe they are 20 years old. That's almost as old as me. Follow the Leader comes off their 10th album The Double Cross on May 10th . Their energetic power pop is still alive and probably not going anywhere any time soon. Don't you just the break into piano at 2:27?? Sloan- Follow the Leader [...]
