Breaking: Broken Social Scene’s Return in 9 Years—“Remember the Humans”
Broken Social Scene returns after nine years with “Remember the Humans,” marking their first new material since *Hug of Thruth* (2017). The Canadian indie collective—known for its rotating lineup and communal ethos—delivers a politically urgent, emotionally resonant track. Its release signals a renewed creative surge, reaffirming their enduring influence on alternative rock and post-punk revivalism. Fans celebrate the timely, activist-infused sound.
Canadian collective Broken Social Scene have always been a funny answer to the classical idea of a band. The classical idea being a tight group of individuals who churn out songs with everyone playing their specific part of their designated instrument. And maybe attempt to look cool on stage doing just that. Founding member Brendan Canning already tried his hand at this archaic paradigm in the wake of the alternative rock boom Powered by MTV, to not much avail.
