Battle of the Beards

Not to be outdone by his slightly less-bearded cohort, Brendan Canning has now taken control of the latest Broken Social Scene presents project, releasing what will essentially be another reconfiguration of the regular collaborators to release what is and isn’t essentially both another ‘Social Scene record.

Personally, I have absolutely no problem with the tour breaking down to the occasional song from Canning’s record and a ‘Social Scene heavy setlist prevailing as they get closer to the end of the tour. Still, Canning can definitely hold his own as what has leaked from the album so far is absolutely fantastic - and in my opinion much stronger than previous efforts from Kevin Drew.
