Record Label: murderecords
Format: Album

Description: Twice Removed is the second album by Canadian rock band Sloan. It was released on Geffen Records in 1994, and is considered to be one of their best albums. It was more melodic and catchy than their previous album, Smeared, and as a result Geffen did not promote it very well because it didn't fit the commercially dominant grunge rock style of the time. The band was dropped from Geffen after Twice Removed was released. Although it was the record that made them famous in Canada, Sloan took time off from touring and writing after the troubles with Geffen, and they were rumoured to have broken up. The album was certified Gold in Canada on October 20, 1998.

Album: Based on the Best Seller by Sloan (2025)
Genre: Alternative
Record Label: Yep Roc Records
Format: Album

Description: Maybe it was a coincidence that Sloan announced their 14th album in June 2025 with a jubilant group-hug sing-along—“Live Forever”—that shares its name with a certain Oasis classic, right at a time when the Gallaghers were about to embark on their reunion tour blitz. And perhaps it was Sloan’s cheeky way of acknowledging that they have indeed been doing this forever (or 35 years, at least) without pause, resurfacing every two to three years with a fresh batch of power-pop whoppers that effortlessly hit the sweet spot between ’60s psych melody and ’70s hard-rock muscle.

Like its immediate predecessors (2018’s 12 and 2022’s Steady), Based on the Best Seller is a 12-song set whose airtight execution can obscure the vast aesthetic terrain covered by the band’s four songwriters, be it Patrick Pentland’s switchblade-glam stomper “So Far Down”, Chris Murphy’s Pet Sounds pastiche “Fortune Teller”, Jay Ferguson’s countrified charmer “Collect Yourself” or Andrew Scott’s acid-fried rocker “No Damn Fears”. As Murphy sings on the aforementioned “Live Forever”, “The ’90s nostalgia that you feel is nothing compared to what’s to come,” and Based on the Best Seller adds another exciting new chapter to Canadian rock’s greatest never-ending story.
