On October 23, 2017, Broken Social Scene performed "Sweetest Kill" live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, marking a significant point in their career as they had just released their fifth studio album, *Hugs of Thunder*, earlier that year. This album, which came out in July 2017, was their first new material in seven years, following *Forgiveness Rock Record* in 2010. It signaled a revival for the band, reintroducing their signature sound that blends rock with orchestral elements. The performance at KEXP showcased not only their diverse musicality but also the collaborative spirit of the band, featuring multiple members who have contributed to their evolving sound over the years. Notably, this live session allowed fans to experience the raw energy and chemistry of the group, highlighting the importance of live performances in rekindling the band's presence in the indie music scene after a prolonged hiatus.
