Smeared

Smeared was the first full-length album released by the Canadian rock band Sloan. It was released in Canada in October, 1992, and in the United States in January, 1993, on Geffen Records. Like their first release, the Peppermint EP, it was seen as a noisy pop record reminiscent of Sonic Youth with Beatles-style harmonies.

All the songs were written and performed by Sloan; Jennifer Pierce of fellow Halifax, Nova Scotia band Jale sang backup vocals on What's There To Decide.
