Sloan
Parallel Play

Describing Sloan is like describing a collage to me. There are many different sounds depending on the track and they evoke memories of other bands. At one point, I feel like I’m listening to Queen, the next, it might be Beck. They are a mix of rock, pop, punk and a little dash of metal.
Their songs are well rounded and whole, so they are easy to listen to. It seems to me though, that they still need to figure out exactly what their sound should be. Until then, though, give them a listen and maybe follow along on their path to self-discovery. You won’t have a bad time along the way.
