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.

Snowsuit Sound Lyrics

Sloan

Pushed off of the silver swing
I got my braces full of sand
When all I ever wanted to do
Was hold on to your hand
Lost you once, I never had a second chance
Would you have changed your mind
With a second glance
I'll think I'll take you down now
Take you down from that shelf
Let you be and set you free
Instead of keeping you for myself
I guess it will always be the same
And it might be just as well
Let you think, fill your sink
I've already smashed that shell
You're the sizzleteen, and your older than me
I'm just walking around,
I make the snowsuit sound
It's not up to me, la la
Pushed off of the silver swing
I got my braces full of sand
Never got to tell you that
I was your greatest fan
You're the sizzleteen, and your older than me
I'm just walking around,
I make the snowsuit sound
It's not up to me, la la
