The competition will be formidable on Sunday May 25th, as Chris Murphy makes a guest appearance on CBC television's Test The Nation-Sports.

Will Chris' quick wit stand up to that of the other celebrity guests? Will the extreme sports team have a chance against the sportscasters? I guess we'll just have to tune in to find out.

The Onion AV Club have compiled a list of their favorite bands with "more than one prominent lead singer".

We're happy to have made the list.

Also, in breaking news, there was a nod to Jay's "Witch's Wand" in the Rolling Stone Blog.

"Believe In Me" has been serviced to Canadian radio, and it is starting to be added to rock radio playlists. Please request it played on your favorite local stations.

This song features a cameo performance by Patrick's father on the keys. He joined the band live onstage for their encore in Halifax last year,and Patrick invited him into their studio last December to lay down some tracks.

Gregory Macdonald fans can rest assured that "The Goose" will still be joining us on our upcoming live shows as Dick Pentland was unable to commit to the dates at this time.

Sloan will launch their new album, Parallel Play with a run of US dates. See our tour dates section for all of the details.

We are happy to be returning to some of our favorite venues with our friends The Golden Dogs supporting on most of the shows.

Plenty of updates on the horizon including photos and video from the making of the new album, summer shows, and a fall tour of Canada.

Thank you Laura. Thank you Facebook.
