![]() When Kevin Drew sings, it’s as if you are immediately taken to that time in life where you feel like you’re the complete outcast and all you can do is just sit and watch others enjoy themselves. “All your kind their coming clean / they shut their eyes, their mess, their scene” Many bands write songs about being an outsider to a new and unfamiliar scene, but few manage to make it enthralling as “KC Accidental” actually is. A catchy guitar starts the track and almost immediately, you’re submerged in fast paced drums and rushing cymbals. And just like that, you know you’re listening to a special album. Relaxing sounds and slow melodic horns build into the next track, a tribute to Drew’s old band, “KC Accidental”. The album opens with the instrumental, “Capture The Flag”. With eleven accomplished musicians, You Forgot It In People was able to encompass warm, lush, and calming sounds without being too overbearing. Others included Charles Spearin, also of the now defunct KC Accidental, Evan Cranley, Justin Perhoff of Junior Blue, Andrew Whiteman of Apostle of Hustle, and John Crossingham of Raising The Fawn. Most notably were Canning, Feist, Drew, Emily Haines and James Shaw of Metric, and Jason Collett. The album was met with warm reviews and paved the way for Broken Social Scene’s commercial and artistic breakthrough, You Forgot It In People.īy the time You Forgot It In People was released, BSS had swelled to eleven members. While mostly an instrumental album, it did feature some vocals by Drew and Grammy Award winning singer, Leslie Feist. Originally a side project of Canning, formerly of hHead and By Divine Right, and Kevin Drew, of KC Accidental, the two released BSS’s first album, Feel Good Lost. ![]() With a total of nineteen contributing (at least at one point) members, this band is known for its amazing live shows and its quirky pop songs. Released in 2002, the Juno Award winning You Forgot It In People encompasses what this segment is all about, the definition of an “Instant Indie Classic.”īy now you all have heard of Broken Social Scene. However, once BSS lovers embark on the journey back to total discography listening, they’ll soon be greeted by the familiar harmonies of perhaps the band’s greatest endeavor. In fact, thanks to the recently released Something For All Of Us, many currently find themselves caught up in the brilliant styles and sounds of the Brandon Canning-heavy creation. ![]() While understandable, once you rediscover those old favorites, dust off those masterpieces, it’s almost as if a feeling of self-blame results, ie., “How the hell could I forgot this?”īroken Social Scene is one of those bands, who put its fans through this journey each and every time the Canadian outfit releases a new album. When a band releases a new album and a good one at that, often times the band’s back catalog, the primary reason we fell in love with them in the first place, can easily go forgotten, at least for a time being.
