About the Artist

Broken Social Scene emerged from Toronto in the late 1990s, initially as a vehicle for the songwriting of Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. What began as a more intimate project quickly blossomed into a sprawling, democratic collective featuring a rotating cast of immensely talented musicians. This unique structure allows for an incredible diversity of sound, incorporating elements of indie rock, art rock, shoegaze, and even electronic textures. Over the years, the band has seen members go on to achieve significant solo success (think Feist, Stars, Metric), yet they always return to the BSS fold, drawn by the potent creative chemistry that defines the group. Their discography is a testament to their artistic evolution, with albums like 'You Forgot It In People' and 'Forgiveness Rock Record' earning critical acclaim and a devoted global following. Their live shows are legendary, a cathartic experience where the sheer number of musicians on stage creates a wall of sound that is both overwhelming and incredibly moving. Expect a generous serving of fan favourites alongside compelling new material, delivered with the raw passion and uninhibited energy that has become their hallmark.
