Peppermint EP is the debut EP released by Canadian rock band Sloan.^[1] It was released on their own label, Murderecords, in 1992. The sound of the band at this point is often^[when?] described^{[by whom?]} as a mix between Sonic Youth and The Beatles. Three of the songs on the EP (Marcus Said, Underwhelmed, and Sugartune) were also included on the band's first full-length album, Smeared, although Underwhelmed appears here in a different version.

The EP was recorded at in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada by , who also engineered the recording. Jennifer Pierce of the group Jale provides additional backing vocals on two selections in the recording ("Marcus Said" and "Torn").

The cover is a photo of a friend of the band's, Jason Larsen, who the band is named after. Larsen was originally called Slow One by his French-speaking boss which, with the French accent, sounded more like "Sloan".^[2] Larsen agreed they could name the band after him as long as he was on the cover of their first album.
