To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

Sound asleep
The sleep of the radio
Your favorite show
They play the song
The one that hits your heart
From the start
Hits your heart from the start
Hits your heart from the start
The melody
So sweet you want to die
Violently
Electric guitar
And a teenage superstar
In stereo
Superstar, in stereo
Superstar, in stereo
Superstar, in stereo
Superstar, in stereo
The perfect words
Sung by the perfect voice
In the world to me
I'm on your side
Those were the sweetest words
You spoke to me
Sweetest words spoke to me
Sweetest words spoke to me
