Episode 1 - Matthew Grimson

To accompany Sloan's latest limited edition vinyl release of This One's An Original, bandmembers Patrick and Chris discuss their love of hardcore punk and the influence that it had on the music scene in Halifax, NS when they were growing up. That leads them to the new Sloan release which is a collection of 12 cover versions of hardcore tracks (Minor Threat, Angry Samoans, Black Flag...) and two originals.

To accompany Sloan's latest limited edition vinyl release of B Sides Win Vol.2 1998-2001, bandmembers Chris and Jay, along with some thoughtful interjections from Patrick and Andrew, have a listen and take a deep dive into the origin and circumstances recording these rare tracks that span the Navy Blues - Between The Bridges - Pretty Together era of their catalogue.

On this episode, it's a bit of a stop-gap edition as we repost a conversation between Sloan's Chris Murphy and Jay Ferguson that was originally recorded in 2016 as the band guest edited the CBC Music website. The two band members recall the Halifax underground music scene of the 1980's and play some music that was the precursor to the east coast independent music explosion of the 1990s.

On this first episode, Sloan’s Jay Ferguson and Chris Murphy are joined by good friend and musician Joel Plaskett to discuss the posthumous LP release of Prize For Writing by Halifax, NS singer/songwriter/rocker Matthew Grimson.
