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 domain [...]

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 people [...]

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 almost [...]
