Broken Social Scene is a Canadian indie rock collective founded in Toronto in 1999 by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, known for a fluid lineup that can stretch to nearly twenty musicians on stage. Their 2002 album You Forgot It in People - produced by David Newfeld and featuring voices like Feist and Emily Haines - won the Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year and established them as one of the defining acts of early-2000s indie rock. The collective has released six studio albums in total, most recently Remember the Humans (2026), and in 2021 Pitchfork named them among the most important artists of the past 25 years.
Broken Social Scene released Remember the Humans on May 8, 2026 via Arts & Crafts - their first studio album in nine years, produced by David Newfeld and featuring contributions from Feist, Lisa Lobsinger and Hannah Georgas.
Metric, Broken Social Scene and Stars added 14 dates to their 'All the Feelings Tour', including a September European leg with stops in Dublin, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Paris, Antwerp, Utrecht and Berlin.
A tribute album, Anthems: A Celebration of Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It In People, was released featuring contributions from Maggie Rogers, Sylvan Esso, Mdou Moctar, Hovvdy and Toro y Moi, among others.
Cinematographer Stephen Chung completed and released the documentary It's All Gonna Break, a project originally begun in 2007 using archival and new footage from throughout the band's career.
