Broken Social Scene’s recent stop in New York on their tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of You Forgot it in People featured an unsuspected Hollywood twist. During “Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl,” Meryl Streep and Tracey Ullman crashed the show to perform alongside the band.
Ullman was introduced by Broken Social Scene frontman Kevin Drew during the encore and emerged on stage to a cheering audience. Meanwhile, Streep spent most of the night rather low-key, recording the show from where she was standing to the side of the stage.

Earlier this spring, the ragtag group of Canadian indie-rock lifers and unapologetic idealists known as Broken Social Scene made their way from Toronto to Austin, Texas, to perform eight shows in less than one week. “We didn’t have our gear for the first few shows,” says Kevin Drew, the 17-member band’s de facto frontman. “It was a clusterfuck, and it was an absolute joy.”
It’s an apt phrase for Broken Social Scene, whose greatest gift is finding meaning in the midst of chaos. Their best songs feel...

Toronto indie-rock veterans Broken Social Scene don’t put out a lot of music; they’ve put out five albums in 20 years, and took a seven-year break between albums before 2017’s Hug of Thunder. So today is a good day for fans; the band just released a new song, “Boyfriends,” to mark Valentine’s Day – with an all-gif video made by gif production company WhatGifs.
The song may not be the message some want to hear on Valentine’s Day. (“They say they’re gonna love you to the end...

Indie darlings Broken Social Scene unveiled a new song, “All I Want,” from their forthcoming Ep Let’s Try the After – Vol. 1, set to arrive February 15th via Arts and Crafts. The track opens with an synth pulsing over the tinny crack of old-school electronic drums. Andrew Whiteman sings lead on the track, his soft croon lending poignancy and depth to the song’s simple, yet mesmerizing, hook, “All I, all I, all I want/ All I want is you.”
