Sloan EP Out On Monday

Sloan's Hit & Run EP will be officially released on Monday (Nov. 23).

The EP's title was inspired an accident this summer, during which bassist Chris Murphy was struck by a car in a hit and run while he was riding his bicycle.

The five-song EP features two songs written by Murphy and a song each from Jay Ferguson, Andrew Scott and Patrick Pentland. Hit & Run will be exclusively available on iTunes and through Sloan's website.

You can hear "Take It Upon Yourself" on the band's MySpace page.
