Chris Murphy of Sloan talks about bubbles versus pyro and his ongoing “feud” with Nickelback.
Sloan
For more than 20 years, members of Sloan have been having huge arguments over whether they are a pop-rock band or a rock-pop band. Despite that hot button issue, the band has kept its 4 original members for all these years. Sloan credit their longevity to splitting the money equally and making the band a creative environment for all. Each member sings and writes songs so Jay Ferguson, Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland and Andrew Scott attempt to equally share the “real estate” on the albums and on the set lists. The addition of Gregory MacDonald on keyboards (and whatever harmony is the most difficult) has upgraded Sloan’s musicality from amazing to ridiculous.
