At the end of the world, when cockroaches rule the ruins, the house band will probably be Sloan … at least in what once was Canada. 20 years after forming in Halifax, the power-pop quartet’s releasing their 10th album, The Double Cross, aka The XX, aka a reference to their tenure as a band (so far). Take a listen to first single and opener “Follow The Leader.”
