K.C. Accidental, pre-cursor-to-Broken-Social-Scene-band-brain-child of Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin, released Anthems That Could Have Bin Pills  in 2000.

Listening now, it’s hard not to think of this music as an unfinished pilot for Broken Social Scene. The pieces are all there — the soaring melodies, the immersive ambiance — though not all fully formed; it’s hard not to wait for lyrics that rarely come or song structures to coalesce. But with the benefit of hindsight, K.C. Accidental’s two gorgeous, inventive records provide a clear window into what Drew and company would later accomplish.
