Drummer Justin Peroff’s playing was bold and precise with quick fills and hi-hat work, a style complimented by the well-mixed bass, a rotating role that sometimes included two players at once.
But the idea that they might turn their hand to something more than greatest-hits sets had been stirring since November 2014, when producer Joe. The first couple of songs also established the excellent rhythm section that anchored the band all night. Broken Social Scene had reconvened, in varying forms, several times over the past four years the odd festival show here and there, preferably ones that involved the least possible travelling. Next came “ 7/4 (Shoreline)” with the remaining two members of the Broken Social Scene entourage, vocalists Amy Millan (notably of Stars) and Ariel Engle, who were fixtures for the remainder of the evening, singing both lead and backup vocals and helping to cover the on-record contributions of Emily Haines and Feist, who are not on tour with the band.

The three guitarists and bassist/co-founder Brendan Canning used the majestic wordless sections of the song to strike their best rock star poses, raising their instruments to the sky, much to the crowd’s delight.

The show hit the ground running with the driving “ KC Accidental” off People, a move that got the excited crowd dancing from the get-go. The band exuded genuine camaraderie-sharing mics, harmonizing, and playfully interacting in between songs, constantly rotating instruments and stage positions. “I’m 41 years old and I’m in a handclap band with my friends!” de facto band spokesman Kevin Drew exclaimed with gleeful disbelief. Otherwise, you’ll just have to settle for it being a very good album.In the six years since their last tour, Broken Social Scene have definitively graduated to elder statesmen status in the post-Internet indie rock boom that nurtured their early success.
their fifth album, Hug of Thunder, which was released in July 2017. If it’s been a minute since you’ve spent time with BSS, Hug Of Thunder could be a revelation. Broken Social Scene is a Toronto-based ensemble whose flexible lineup has included. As fun as Drew’s “Halfway Home” is, it’s a total ringer for the band’s 2005 breakout, “7/4 (Shoreline).” The muscular arrangements and horn flares elevate “Vanity Pail Kids” and “Gonna Get Better” much in the same way they did for the standouts on Forgiveness Rock Record. With so many talented cooks contributing to Hug Of Thunder, not to mention the significant gap between its release and its predecessor (2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record), the retreads of familiar sonic ground are a bit disappointing. 'It's All Gonna Break' (Broken Social Scene, 2005) Kevin Drew: We had written that during the You Forgot it in People time. Produced by Mooj Zadie, Luke Vander Ploeg and Clare Toeniskoetter.

With several members boasting their own celebrated careers, each assembly of BSS can end up feeling like a family reunion, inside jokes and all. SeptemBroken Social Scene was formed in 2001 by Kevin Drew (bottom left) and Brendan Canning (bottom right), and eventually grew into a revolving cast of a baker’s dozen collaborators. Though guitarist Kevin Drew and bassist Brendan Canning serve as de facto leaders, BSS thrives on collaborations that yield results greater than the sum of their parts.
Broken Social Scene albums have never been about raising the profiles of the group’s dozen-plus members.
