One Chord To Another

For a long time One Chord To Another It was my favorite album.  It's the fourth album by Canadian-rockers Sloan.  The album is power pop bliss, mixing Beatles like harmonies, which crunchy guitar.  1994 was a great year for music, I wish I could have been listening to it for 20 years, unfortunately, and fortunately, I found the album in 2012.  

The album debuted number 16 on the Canadian charts and by 1996 it was a certified Gold Record in Canada.  While Sloan may be a legendary household name in Canada, they have yet to really break into the mainstream music scene in the US.

They were signed to Geffen records right after Nirvana and right before Weezer.  They were supposed to be the next Nirvana in the US but when Geffen found Weezer, Sloan was pushed to the side and they have yet to get back into the spotlight they once had. 

Sloan has been rocking for 20 years and they are still putting out great material.  All four members sing and write their own songs.  The band consits of Chris Murphy (bass), Patrick Penland (lead guitar), Jay Fergusson (rhythm guitar), and Andrew Scott (drums).
