Hello Sloan Fans,
We are almost there! The Double Cross will see its official release on May 10th but those in Canada can find it up for pre-sale in the iTunes Canada store. Those who pre-order The Double Cross there will get the bonus track "Jesus Loves Me" right away. On release date, May 10, "Jesus Loves Me" will no longer be available.
Better still...We are proud to announce our new confirmed tour dates. Twenty years of Sloan, performing hits and fan favorites from our first ten albums. Most of these shows are our own headlining gigs while some (as noted) are Summer Festival shows.

Please come back to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I've been a huge fan ever since I saw you guys play here in 2003. It was my first concert ever, and I was completely blown away. Fantastic performance.

Great Sloan rocking in San Francisco this past week. Musical overload. I was overwhelmed (if that's a word).

Great playing at The Phoenix last night. A lot of energy...but you really did seem to believe the lyric: "It's not the band I hate but its fans". Waited nearly 2 hours for you guys to come on, saw a great first set of Twice Removed, and then waited another 30-45 minutes for the 2nd set? Very little chatter and fan interaction--the stuff that makes me keep coming back to your concerts, ever since I saw you 20 years ago as student at The University of Western Ontario! Seemed like you were more interested in making sure that The Phoenix was full and that your set could be easily edited for the video that you were recording than you were in putting on a great show for your fans. Hey, I know you guys work hard and put out good stuff--and you had a lot of energy, which is awesome...but without any interaction I feel like I could have got almost the same thing by turning up my stereo at home!
Better luck next time guys.
