Sloan
Legendary JUNO Award-winning Toronto-based rock quartet Sloan, return with their melodic new single "Live Forever" (Murderecords / Known Accomplice), available now on all streaming platforms.
Written by Sloan and co-produced by the band along with long-time collaborator Ryan Haslett, “Live Forever” is a harmony-rich, irresistibly catchy power pop track. The song blends existential humor with a dose of sharp pop commentary, exploring the unexpected downsides of immortality and the enduring pull of nostalgia.
“If given the chance to live forever, would we even want to? Careful what you wish for. Would you want to feel 80 for hundreds of years? I guess that’s the kind of hard-hitting question this song tackles. It also predicts that we will all have ‘90s nostalgia – once we’re 100 years old” said Chris Murphy of Sloan.
Today, the band also announced that “Live Forever” will appear on their fourteenth studio album, Based on the Best Seller, set for release on September 26th. Staying true to Sloan’s longstanding ethos of artistic integrity, enduring friendship, and creative equality, the album promises to showcase their trademark ability to weave together a variety of styles and voices into one cohesive, unmistakably Sloan sound.
Now more than 30 years into their career, Sloan has grown from a promising Halifax band into a revered indie rock institution. Celebrated for their unwavering lineup and democratic approach — with all four members contributing as singers, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists—the band has built a remarkably diverse catalogue. From power pop and punk-infused bursts to chamber rock and sprawling epics, Sloan continues to craft music that resonates deeply with listeners decades on.
Regarded as one of Canada’s most enduring and influential rock bands, Sloan shows no signs of slowing down. This summer, they hit the road to perform across Canada, with shows in Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. This will be followed by the Tour de Force tour kicking off this fall, with more dates to be announced soon in support of their new music.
