Broken Social Scene is tagged as: indie, indie rock, canadian, post-rock, alternative Broken Social Scene is an indie rock group formed in 1999 in Toronto, Canada. The band’s core members are Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. This duo recorded and released the band’s ambient debut album, Feel Good Lost, in 2001, with contributions from Ohad Benchetrit (also known as Years), Evan Cranley, Leslie Feist, Justin Peroff, Bill Priddle, and Charles Spearin. All of these musicians would emerge as key members of Broken Social Scene in future endeavors. After the release of Feel Good Lost (an almost entirely instrumental album), Drew and Canning decided to transition the band into a more energetic sound reflective of the Toronto indie music scene of the early 2000’s. As a result, they brought in a number of local artistic and musicial friends — the Apostle of Hustle Andrew Whiteman, Jason Collett, Metric’s Emily Haines, and Leslie Feist — to flesh out their live show with lyrics and vocals. Over time, the band also came to include contributions from James Shaw, John Crossingham, Lisa Lobsinger, Julie Penner, Sam Goldberg, and Stars’ Amy Millan. Many of the later guest musicians joined with Drew, Canning, Peroff and Spearin to record the band’s second album, You Forgot It In People, in 2002 on the label Arts & Craft...
