Broken Social Scene is a
Canadian indie rock band, a
musical collective including as few as six and as many as nineteen members, formed in
1999 by
Kevin Drew and
Brendan Canning. Most of its members currently play in various other groups and solo projects, mainly in the city of
Toronto. The band refuses the label "
supergroup", based on size or the ubiquity of their members, claiming that in the indie scene everyone is involved in more than one project.
