I’ve followed Canadian rock band Sloan for a very long time. Thirty years in fact! It’s hard to think of another band that has stayed as consistent for three decades musically and still has all the same band members for their entire career. Thirteen albums later, slow and steady wins the race. Their latest offers power pop glory. Highly Recommended.

Los Angeles-based songwriter Spencer Hoffman has been gigging for a decade, since he, his brother and their high school friends formed the band Honyock when he was age 16. He’s just released the first music released under his own name. Recorded during isloation and under duress, this release is overflowing with gorgeous melodies and literary references, it’s a celebration of the togetherness of humanity.
