Action Pact (album)

Action Pact is the seventh album by Canadian rock band Sloan. The album was named after "Youth Action Pact," a song by the 1980s Halifax band Jellyfishbabies. Action Pact was released on August 19, 2003 by ViK Recordings. The album debuted at #11 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[4] The album does not include any songs written by Andrew Scott, and is therefore the only Sloan album that does not include at least one track written by each band member.
