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.

Losing California Lyrics

Sloan

You hit rock bottom and everybody knows it
But does anybody care how you got there?
Admit to yourself that everything's a problem
But when it comes down what do you care

They're losing California
Inch by inch sit back and watch it go
Coming in clearly
Dance dance dance to the radio

And everybody loves it but
Nobody knows what it stands for
Get into yourself in dark sunglasses
And elevate it all 'til it means more

And move out to California
Inch by inch is all you need to go
Coming in clearly
Dance dance dance to the radio

Sometimes it's too much
You want to get right out of your mind
Sometimes it's too much
You're gonna go right out of your mind

You hit rock bottom and everybody knows it
But does anybody care how you got there?
Admit to yourself that everything's a problem
But when it comes down what do you care?

Sometimes it's too much
You want to get right out of your mind
Sometimes it's too much
You're gonna go right out of your mind

California
Inch by inch, sit back and watch it go
Coming in clearly
Dance dance dance to the radio
California
Inch by inch, sit back and watch it go
Coming in clearly
Dance dance dance to the radio
