The clock strikes '12' for Sloan

Canadian band Sloan have unveiled a new song, “The Day Will Be Mine.” The track is released as part of the band’s announcement of their 12th studio album appropriately titled Sloan 12, which is set to release April 6 via Murderecords/Yep Roc Records.

Listen to “The Day Will Be Mine” NOW. Fans can also pre-order the album today HERE.

Sloan are one of the rare bands to make it to their 12th album with all four original members who are equally prolific songwriters. Sloan 12 includes three songs written by each member: Patrick Pentland, Chris Murphy, Jay Ferguson and Andrew Scott.

In comparing their last album Commonwealth (2014) Ferguson says, “That album was more of everyone retreating to corners to produce and sequence a side of their own material, this one would potentially have more collaboration than usual.”

Sloan is a Toronto-based rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia who first performed in spring of 1991. The band are credited as being a main instigator for the Canadian East Coast alternative scene of the early 90s, garnering comparisons to the Seattle grunge movement on the opposite coast.

Over the course of their quarter-century career, Sloan have amassed an outstanding collection of over 200 songs and more than 30 singles with airplay at Canadian Rock Radio. Sloan have received nine Juno Award nominations, and won for Best Alternative Album in 1997. Recently, the band was named one of Canada’s top five bands of all-time in a CBC critics poll.

Additionally, the band announce an extensive 2018 tour with over 30 dates across North America.
