Sloan is a quartet originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. They are truly a democracy as each member writes songs for the group.

They were originally signed to Geffen, because it was thought that they would become the Nirvana of the north.

Over the past nine or so years, they have released the following albums:

Peppermint ep (1992)
Smeared (1992)
Twice Remowed (1994)
One Chord To Another (1996)
One Chord To Another (1997) (included a bonus "Party Album")
Navy Blues (1998)
4 Nights At The Palais Royale (1999) (Double Live)
Between The Bridges (1999)

After their brief stint with Geffen, they started releasine their albums on their own label (murderecords). Sometime after the release of Navy Blues they were able to buy back the rights to Smeared and Twice Removed from Geffen. Those two albums are now available through murderecords.
