Following their most critically-acclaimed albums to date, -- SPIN called Never Hear the End of It, 'the best British Invasion best-of you've never heard,' and Pitchfork called Parallel Play 'almost flawless' -- Canadian pop iconoclasts Sloan are ready to celebrate. Their recent albums would be reason enough but 2011 marks the twentieth anniversary of the band, and how better to honor such an occasion than a brand new album prolific with power pop gems? Sloan delivers just that with their 10th album The Double Cross, a titular shout-out to the band's 20th (or XX) anniversary. The album kicks off as awesome as universal healthcare with 'Follow the Leader' and the sure-fire sync license riffage of 'Unkind.' In addition to releasing one of their best albums to date, the band will be celebrating all year long with special shows, an exclusive one-of-a-kind album artwork series and much more. So raise your glasses to Jay, Patrick, Chris, Andrew and 20 years of Sloan. Here's to 20 more!

2006 album from this Canadian Power Pop band, their first full length album in three years and their eighth overall. The album, which is as experimental as it is straightforward, features a whopping 30 tracks and includes the single 'Who Taught You To Live Like That?'. Murderrock.

The boiled down brother to their 30 song magnum opus 'Never Hear the End of It','Parallel Play' is the latest from power pop royalty Sloan. Less a conscious answer to NHTEI's unabridged creative approach, 'Parallel Play' is a continuation of the musical concepts put forth on their last album and a further exploration of the band's four-songwriter dynamic. A term taken from the science of developmental psychology, 'Parallel Play' is a behavior seen in young children in which they enjoy independent activities in the company of other children, something the four boys in Sloan know a lot about. As per their unique musical modus operandi, the members of Sloan wrote songs independently and then joined forces in the studio to produce yet another album of timeless, guitar-driven pop. For Sloan, 'Parallel Play' proves once again that four times the songwriters equals four times the rock. 'Parallel Play' will also be available on vinyl.

Sophomore album from critically acclaimed Canadian power pop act. 12 tracks of accomplished pop that evokes the sunny charm and effortless melodicism of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. 1994 release. Standard jewelcase.

1999 release from Canadian power pop act. A typically firstrate Sloan release, well crafted songs, perfect harmonies and clever lyrics. Digipak. (Murder Records)

Canadian power-pop superstars Sloan celebrate their dominance with this double-live-CD set, recorded largely during a multi-evening stand at a Toronto theater in 1998. Most of 4 Nights of the Palais Royale's meaty performances at least equal their studio versions, with a stripped-down 'Everything You've Done Wrong' and a cranking 'Money City Maniacs' among the highlights. Gatefold digipak. 1999 release.

This is a limited pressing of a few thousand of 'Pretty Together' (Murder Records) sounds as it was made as an effort by the band as a whole and not 4 individual singer/songwriters. Pretty Together shows the band members styles becoming more blurred and with pleasing results. 13 tracks.
