He released his critically acclaimed debut graphic novel, The Dregs, in 2017 from Black Mask Studios. He is best known for his work at Marvel Comics that includes showrunning the Age of X-Man event, and writing for titles like Cable, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Punisher 2099. Lonnie Nadler is a storyteller from Vancouver, Canada. The meta of music and people and ideas harmonizing together shifts to a new medium for this touching and ambitious graphic novel. Within these pages, a collection of seemingly disparate strangers' lives weave in and out each others' orbits, touched equally by the mundane and unexplainable. Overseen by Broken Social Scene's Justin Peroff and Brendan Canning, writer Lonnie Nadler ( X-Men, Black Stars Above) joins Eric Orchard, Ray Fawkes, Mike Feehan, Diana Nguyen, and more artists to be announced for a fully Canadian sequential art jam session.
#Broken social scene you forgot it in people series
Paralleling the confluence that led a community of Toronto musicians to craft a winding audio epiphany, this project unites one writer and and 13 artists to create a series of intertwining vignettes inspired by the 2003 record, You Forgot It in People, on its 20th anniversary. Z2 Comics celebrates the most crucial indie album of the new millennium with Broken Social Scene Presents: You Forgot It in People, The Graphic Novel.
Absolutely, utterly essential.A rock and Canadian icon, Broken Social Scene collects their memories over the last 20 years in this once in a lifetime graphic novel! Get it now, before all the attention disturbs the pristine beauty of this wonderfully remarkable project and the band break up, becoming nothing more than a distant memory of better times. Make no mistake, this is THE band of 2003 to watch and if you enjoyed their previous material, this will simply blow you away. So far, the band have done a handful of shows in North America where they have been lauded with almost fanatical praise and a dedicated following to boot. The band refuse to let go of their delicate song structures and beautiful hooks no matter how many layers they decide to throw on, or which of the four guitarists happens to switch instruments mid-song.Īs with most great things, Broken Social Scene have come around almost by accident and releases this good usually signify an imminent split (remember MBV's Loveless, anyone?). It ebbs and flows with gracious highs and awe-inspiring lows, twisting and turning with alternating male and female vocals, drum machine fills, banjos and even glitchy CD samples. The CD begins with "Capture The Flag", a gorgeous blend of guitar and trumpet based ambience and then kicks in to the aptly titled "KC Accidental," a wonderful uptempo experiment in almost indie noise and it doesn't let up from there. But.you can imagine this almost on Top 40 radio. Imagine Godspeed You! Black Emperor actually writing coherent pop songs or if Sebadoh decided to jam with about 20 other musicians from labels such as Sub Pop, Kranky and Thrill Jockey on some prog rock covers. The new sound encompasses all the experimentation and looseness of their previous releases but takes it to an entirely wonderful new dimension. Where the band before created ambient oriented instrumental indie rock, You Forgot It In People sees a progression to 'proper' songwriting with a more defined verse/chorus/verse style. This second release from the collective sees a slight change in the overall sound and direction of the project. Zion and before you knew it - a Canadian tour de force was born. Founder members Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin then formed Broken Social Scene which moved to more abstract territory.Īfter a few gigs in the Toronto area, they attracted the attention of musicians from fellow local bands like Do Make Say Think, A Silver Mt. Hailing from all the Toronto area, the band has its origins in an experimental indie project called KC Accidental which saw two releases on the excellent Noise Factory Label. Toronto is no exception and while it certainly has had some rather.shall we say, interesting moments, the local indie scene is as powerful as ever and its new leaders are without a doubt Broken Social Scene. We've been waxing lyrical about the Canadian music scene for a while now, and it's great to see a scene that continues to go from strength to strength while refusing to compromise for a few sales or features on MTV.
