3 out of 4 Star Rating for 'Never Hear The End of It" in the USA Today (see link below). Good to see that you are getting the recognition in a widely published newspaper in the US. See you at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC!

Hooray for Yep-Roc! Hooray for Sloan! Hooray for autographs!

Nice review on NPR today. My only question is who did Patrick pay off? ;^)
Barb - January 18, 2007 7:33 PM
I heard the review on NPR, went out and bought it and you guys have a fan for life. Maybe your only 55 year old fan and maybe not!
Lee Hower - January 20, 2007 2:03 PM
Hey Barb, not so! I'm 55 and I drove 900 miles from California to Vancouver to see Sloooaan! perform in October! Terrific show, and I can't wait until they come to San Francisco. BTW, I'm a new Sloan fan, too!

I also heard the NPR review and will admit forthrightly that I've never heard of Sloan previously. But that's because I'm a 60 year old aging "Boomer" and don't care for the music they're playing now. BUT I did like the sound of Sloan . . . they are literate, for one thing, and obviously talented. I will probably buy "Never hear the end of it." It is indeed refreshing to hear what I call a rock band that isn't trying to destroy the genre and doesn't sing in a nasal monotone.

Just to add to what I wrote, how can anyone not be interested in a group with a song called "Ill Placed Trust?" I love that language !!
Lee - January 22, 2007 5:48 PM
Oldtimers for Sloan Unite! Spread the word! I have - I've given several copies of A Sides Win to family and friends!
And I agree, John, I marvel at the guys' use of language, and the cleverness of it all. All the way back to Underwhelmed. And Chris' play on the words to Fading Into Obscurity is about as good as it gets.
Oldtimers for Sloan Unite!

Last Saturday's WSJ had a very favourable review of the album:
---
Well into its second decade, this Canadian quartet once influenced by My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth now writes, plays and sings cheery, straight-ahead rock that recalls the Beatles, Crowded House and XTC. You can do much worse in choosing your forefathers, and Sloan's good taste permeates this release. Relentlessly inventive and enthusiastic, the music cascades as if the 30 songs were one long, sparkling piece. What would the second side of the Beatles' "Abbey Road" have sounded like if it were more than 80 minutes long? At its best moments, this disc, which was released in the U.S. on Tuesday, comes close.
