Broken Social Scene

In May 2008, Broken Social Scene performed 'Anthems for a 17 y.o. Girl' live at Ikra in Moscow, a pivotal moment as it came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album, 'Forgiveness Rock Record,' which hit the shelves in May 2010. This period marked a serious rejuvenation for the band, as they were reuniting after a hiatus, eager to reconnect with fans and showcase new material that blended their signature indie rock sound with fresh experimental elements. Fun fact: their sets were known for featuring a rotating cast of musicians, which added an unpredictable flair to each performance. The live version of 'Anthems,' with its emotional resonance, captured the band's knack for encapsulating universal teenage angst—an ode to the tumultuous journey of growing up. Despite the recording's less-than-stellar quality, the energy and passion of the performance shine through, reminding us just how electric a live show can be.
