about

In December 2020 i came across a rough demo of Sloan's "Lucky for me" i recorded in 1995. I was just doing it for fun at the time, but hearing it again caused me to pull out their 1992 Peppermint ep for a fresh listen. It had been a long time and brought back a lot of nice memories.

That sent me into a month of going through all the Sloan albums again, watching youtube vids and live footage, catching up with them and thinking about those youthful days in the early 90's which were a very exciting time for both of our bands.

I woke up one day in the midst of all this with the riff to "Marcus Said" going around my head and had an urge to try recording a cover of it in a late 90's Elevator style. It turned out being quite enjoyable and i liked the results. Now here we are two weeks later and i've got the whole Peppermint ep recorded. Ha. It's quite a different kinda guitar sound and drumming style from the original, but i kept the song structures, melodies and tempos faithful. I really like these tunes and wanted to retain that energy. To finish off the project i even spent a few hours remaking a version of the album cover photo with my face. Which i must say turned out pretty good.

I wasn't originally planning to release these recordings but i'm digging it. I hope any of you folks who are fans of the early days of Eric's Trip and Sloan get a kick out of hearing it too. I like to think of it as a tribute to those guys and to thank them for all the support and promotion they gave us and me over the years. I respect them a bunch.
Love Rick.
