It’s a busy day for Sloan! On the heels of the release of their recent album The Double Cross [more info] the band continues to garner praise from critics and fans.

The latest issue of Rolling Stone includes a stellar review of The Double Cross calling the album “…a succinct set of tunes that seamlessly blend the sensibilities of the band’s four distinct songwriters… the perfect balance of fist-pumping riff rockers and classy formalist pop.” Click HERE to read the full review now.

The band also swung by the office of The Onion’s A.V. Club to take part in their ongoing AV Undercover Series. The series features some of today’s most exciting rock bands cover classic tunes. For their turn, Sloan picked Gary Numan’s classic “Cars.” Watch Chris Murphy almost rock himself right out of his jacket during the outro. Simultaneously more spacey AND more aggressive.
