While modern-rock radio is dominated by so-called "alternative" one-hit-wonders and novelty acts, genuinely inventive and idiosyncratic pop bands continue to make endearing and infectious music in the margins. Sloan is a quartet from Halifax, Nova Scotia, that released several discs of hypnotic, lulling, and unabashedly romantic guitar rock on Geffen. One Chord to Another is a major leap forward, adding uplifting horn parts and George Martin-style studio trickery to the mix on tunes such as "Everything You've Done Wrong." Alas, the band and Geffen parted ways, and it's available only as an import. Holiday is a like-minded group of four New Yorkers who record for Chicago's tiny independent March Records. Ready, Steady, Go collects 14 of the band's heartfelt love songs-including offbeat ditties like "Prostitutes In Town"-that succeed in part because of lush arrangements featuring trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn, organ, and Moog synthesizer. I'll take music like this over Bush and Marilyn Manson any day. Jim Derogatis

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Certainly worth several listens .......2006-12-19

This young-sounding band is a little rough around the edges but almost every track is an energetically performed pop song with mostly upbeat ltrics. These are the kinds of songs that sound best if you dont listen to them too closely. The band really could have practised more before they cut the record though. Shame the band broke up.
