Broken Social Scene is a true musical collective, with as many as nineteen members involved in any given project or performance. Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning formed Broken Social Scene in Toronto in 1999. Most of the other members (such as Leslie Feist, Jason Collett, and Emily Haines) have their own separate groups and projects. With so many different players and instruments involved, the group's orchestrated and sometimes experimental music has at times been categorized as baroque pop. Explaining the title of Broken Social Scene's seventh album, Hug Of Thunder, Kevin Drew said- "That is our show. We're trying to create that hug of thunder. That sound. That embrace amongst the chaos."
