Broken Social Scene (lyrics, electronic, indie, instrumental, rock)

I was surprised when I searched for a thread about this band and didn't find one. I know there has been talk about them.

I love BSS's smooth flowing sound, and clever lyrics. They seem to have evolved from their first album for the better. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing "Pacific Theme."

So, discuss your favorite album, songs, or anything in general you like about the band.

I love this band as well, guilty cubicles, although short and completely instrumental is one of my all time favourite songs, there flow is completly unsurpassed.
wow, basicly.

quite like this band - but the new album has not gown on me too much I must admit... not bad mind, just a bit more average...

I hear a TON about this band....I hear about them about as much as Dashboard....but I've never listened to them. Maybe I will when I have free time.

best album is You Forgot It in People

Another band for people to look into that's similar to this band is Sparklehorse. Best album is Good Morning Spider

I've probably mentioned this before, but they have such a corny ass band name, but do what they do very well.
Shampoo Suicide, Pacific Theme, Stars and Sons, Cause=Time are all good songs off You Forgot It in People. I think any true indie fan would appreciate that album.

IndiElectronica · 11-10-2005, 05:13 PM

corny name?! hell - they are about average in these days I think.

I present my case:

Death Cab for Cutie
Say Hi To Your Mom
Poop Your Pants
Nuetral Milk Hotel

I rest my case your honor...

BSS are easily one of my favorite bands. Just saw them the other day, they're amazing live.

SHTYM is the worst. I don't really care much for their music either. I don't know Poop Your Pants, but i'm assuming they rock and roll with a name like that.

I really like SHTYM actually.... really fun/quirky indiepop. Most all of their better songs you can hear here fyi - http://www.sayhitoyourmom.com/music.htm

As for Poop Yer Pants - is more or less the same kinda indiepop - tho a bit more mainstream... they sent me their cd and T-shirt for my station. Not quite sure what to do with the T to be honest - lol...
