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.

On The Horizon Lyrics

Sloan

These are a few of the states I'm in
The first one Jersey the second one thin
The nicest thing of mine is yours
So take a letter down
And send it to the highest bidder

On my team and my horizon
And you'll shine in that scene capitalizing
Now just the thing for me is baby let me be
Because someone's gotta sign on the dividing line

I'll be setting up my sights whoo!
To watch me programming all the glamour rights
The thing for you to do was leave
I'll see you when it's snowing
And give me back the master key

To my place on the horizon
And we'll shine all of time capitalizing
And you'll beat out all the odds of staying thin

Wouldn't you like to keep moving?
Your life would be slightly improving
When you better come on by
And take a letter down
And send it out as sympathy

For my team on the horizon
And we'll shine all in that scene capitalizing
So just sign it, underline it
And represent the scapegoats
And we will blame it on you
'cause someone had to state it
So I could imitate it masterfully
