We always strive to bring the best we can to the lives that honour us. At a time where there is so much—add us to your list of things to do. We won’t let any of you down. As popularization continues to destroy art...We want to live 4 the real. Hope to see you at the shows Xo BSS
This is an Unreleased jam to remind us that we must keep holding on — reach out —help each other— look around--we shall all be together soon —we love and miss you xoxo
Our hearts are broken. Scott’s smile could awake a city. We are so blessed to have shared the stage with him and watched as people sang along to his words so passionately.He was an incredible songwriter and a fighter against this difficult struggle ——LOVE
Mark Hollis captured so many of us with his haunting approach to song and the compelling ways he presented simplistic mountains of sound. He was an educator of emotion and a voice for the blood throat shadows of tomorrow. This is a loss amongst many.
Celebrating 20 years. You never know what show you're going to get.

Ariel is coming for all of you. Incredible record. Incredible tune. Go find her singing this low glide beauty mountain of honest reflection today.
Welcome this tune into your life. We are all holding on...hopefully this song helps you hold tighter.
These times can corner you into a box-Make you feel lonely amongst the crowdest of cities-The smiles that hurt as others suffer a quiet pain— Please find Help. Please speak about it. Please reach out and know there is someone there to take your hand.
Thank you to everyone who has been listening to LETS TRY THE AFTER--- Always continuing to continue the continuation to be heard with ageless empty pages of unspoken offers towards relevant memories. We love you. More to come. Xx BSS
We had such an incredible time celebrating the 20th anniversary of ‘You Forgot It In People’ last fall that we’ve decided to hit some cities we weren’t able to make it to last year. Support from

Tonight we play for Dave Bookman. A lover of live music and constant anthems of glory.
A huge loss for many. We are joined by
@BesnardLakes
and will try to rise as high as we can. Bookie was a supporter like no other. Today is a very sad day.
)))Toronto is a city filled with so many loving faces and neighbourhoods. We grow together and we help each other out. That’s what we do. Last night was heartbreaking.

2022 marks the 20 years since 'You Forgot It In People', an album that changed our lives. Maybe some of you were there with us. We're eager to be back on stage together & celebrate with all of you. The ones who afforded us a career. We are humbled by your support and generosity.
People
Always people
Always will be
People for people
Not people against
The divide was created by what we were taught
Keep going. Keep listening. Keep watching. Keep fighting. Get uncomfortable. Know your part in it all. Change it.

Back when we were touring earlier this year we swung by our friends
@Spotify
to record a couple songs, including a little Tom Waits cover… Consider it an early Christmas present, from us (and Spotify) to you. Enjoy!
When we first started recording what would become FGL there was no grand plan to start a band. It was nice to sort of disengage from the music biz and not worry about where this music fit in. Our process happened gradually and quite naturally and never felt forced. 📸 Amit Dahan
Announcing ‘Old Dead Young: B-Sides & Rarities’ (Jan 14), a career-spanning collection of outtakes pulled from 20 years of 7-inches, compilations, soundtracks, & hard-to-find releases.
Listen to the '09 outtake "This House Is On Fire" & pre-order the LP:
FEEL GOOD LOST
Made as the '90s were ending and the '00s were arriving. We (Brendan and Kevin) were held up in a basement making sounds as winter took over. So many years ago now…but it represented the soundtrack of that time.

Kevin retired as the “mayor of T.O” back in 2010. He is currently working with an experimental cereal company somewhere in the UK. No artificial flavour. No wheat. No milk needed. Its suppose to eliminate stress and negativity. Stay tuned!!

"The point is to keep going. We have more to give.
These songs have lived beside us and became our commencement party while continuing together. We hope you enjoy this EP for you and me."

Making this record was basically an excuse to work with Leslie (
@FeistMusic
). Kevin kept asking Brendan to get her into the studio. This was Leslie's introduction to the yet-to-be-named Broken Social Scene.
