Broken Social Scene

A pre-Broken Social Scene instrumental rock band.

Broken Social Scene are putting out a new album in May called Forgiveness Rock Record, and “World Sick” is the first song that’s been released from it. Head over to their MySpace to download the track and check their tour dates. p.s. sorry for the downtime, my brother hosts the site and he let the [...]

Langerado regulars are going to have some initial backlash with the news of this year’s festival: it has been cut back down to three days and worst of all camping has been eliminated from the equation! Also the location has changed from the Big Cypress Indian Reservation to Bicentennial Park in Miami. But don’t get [...]

At a recent November tour stop in Toronto, Canada, Isaac Brock joined Broken Social Scene for a little ditty from Modest Mouse’s fourth LP Good News For People Who Love Bad News entitled “The World at Large”. Even though this is only Broken Social Scene’s current touring configuration of people, there were still some twelve-odd [...]

We get to see Kevin Drew on drums for “Stars And Sons”, lyrical & musical improv on “Churches”, and a random rash (see the interview…). Note: [...]

For the third time the Canadian collective has extended their fall tour of Brendan Canning’s semi-solo debut Something For All Of Us…, this time through November. As you were probably wondering, Feist has tour dates now through mid-November so sadly, don’t expect her to perform with the band. Here are the dates. You can buy [...]

Headlining the ’Mystery Concert’ at NYU yesterday, Broken Social Scene top off their performance with the epic “7/4 (Shoreline)”, with Lizzie Powell of Land of Talk filling in for the Emily Haines and Amy Millan. And despite the minor mic issues, she does a really impressive job. Of course it’s no competition for Feist’s job on [...]

Always collaborating with someone from his monster of an indie rock band, Drew takes this one solo-style. For once. The Broken Social Scene frontman delivers “Summer Time Dues”, which interestingly starts out with Drew — coughing. Cue classic Kevin Drew style acoustic guitar and melodic vocals, and you have yourself there a quality intro.  Sounding [...]
