Show Notes
To round off our three-part 20th anniversary special on Action Pact, Chris Murphy joins us to give the inside scoop on the period in the band's history leading up to the album, as well as on the album's recording and production. He also gives us his reactions to each of the tracks after two decades of maturation.
More from Sloancast
We address a rather conspicuous gap in our coverage of the Sloan discography, tackling all 13 minutes of 2009's punchy Hit & Run EP (plus bonus track). As Sloan's first true (at least at the time) digital-only release, Hit & Run not only signalled a shift in the band's commercialization approach, but also served as the glue between mid-era and contemporary sounds.
It's finally (almost) here! Sloan's 14th studio album, Based on the Based Seller, is a 12-track romp through both modern stylings and blasts from the past. On this latest episode of Sloancast, we give you an exclusive look into the tracklist and run down each song. Look forward to a true Sloan fan's Sloan album, set for official release on September 26th!
We're back with new content! On this episode, Sloan inner circle member and music industry professional Linda Noelle Bush joins us to walk us through her time touring with the band, and particularly about Sloan's tours of Japan in support of Navy Blues and Between the Bridges.
A/S/L? On this episode, we fall deep into the phenomenon that was 90s web superfandom with the one and only Alan Wong, alias SquirrelAl—webmaster of the legendary Sloan Hut. We wax nostalgic about Sloan Chat meetups, Pictures of the Week and forum escapades, as well as about friendships forged on the information superhighway that stand the test of time. To all Gen Zs and Alphas out there: you kinda had to be there.
