K.C. Accidental was a Canadian indie rock band, which formed the original basis for Broken Social Scene.

The core of the band consisted of Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) and Charles Spearin (Do Make Say Think), and started out as a two person recording outfit. The “K.C.” in the band’s name was taken from the initials of their first names. They released two albums of mostly instrumental music. The project’s second album, Anthems for the Could’ve Bin Pills, also included contributions from Jason Collett, Evan Cranley, Emily Haines, Jason McKenzie, Jessica Moss, James Payment, Bill Priddle, James Shaw and Justin Small.

Many of the musicians involved in the album went on to work with Broken Social Scene, who released their debut album, Feel Good Lost in 2001. Spearin and Drew released a second album afterwards, with the track listing for both albums structured to seem as if Anthems and Captured Anthems were one full album. The Anthems track listing was shown as having 6 blank tracks before the 6 music tracks, whereas the Captured Anthems was presented in the opposite fashion (1-6 music tracks, 7-12 blank).

Broken Social Scene also included a song with the title “

KC Accidental” on its Juno Award-winning album You Forgot It in People.

Was just listening to Pills again and I just needed to say how good it is. I just can't get over it... Normally I try and share my music with all my friends, but I haven't shown this album to anyone, it just feels too personal when I listen to it. My #1 favorite album, hands down, I would go so far as to call it life-changing.

I like Anthems for the Pills more than Anthems for a Bathtub, though that can be a personal thing.

How does the second album compare to the first? Better? Worse?

Anthem's for the Could've Bin Pills is my favorite album, ever. I can listen to it in any mood, and for however long I want, and it will never get old. I can't find a single second of it I don't like... it's perfect.
