Before Broken Social Scene there was K.C. Accidental. The lo-fi bedroom recordings of Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin. The music they played was mostly post-rock and instrumental in nature, and self-released two EP’s: “Captured Anthems For An Empty Bathtub” and “Anthems For The Could’ve Bin Pills”.
Because they were released in limited numbers on Noise Factory Records, traded amongst friends and hidden in the pockets of Toronto’s independent record stores, these two records have been out of print for five years and have never been available outside of Canada. This November (date TBC), Arts & Crafts will be reissuing these seminal recordings in one package in 2-LP, 2-CD and digital formats. Additionally, Broken Social Scene will be selling this reissue on tour.
