Perkins and Stevens left the band in 2000, and Felton left in 2004. Stevens released a solo album under the name Roj, and Felton formed the group Seeland with Billy Bainbridge from Plone. After the January 2011 death of Trish Keenan, James Cargill is the only current member of the band.
The band has released five albums in their career: "The Noise Made by People" (2000), "Haha Sound" (2003), "Tender Buttons" (2005), "Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" (2009, with The Focus Group) and "Berberian Sound Studio" (2013), the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Cargill has stated that plans for an album featuring Keenan's final recordings is in the works.
The band's first releases were singles released on Wurlitzer Jukebox Records ( "Accidentals" ) and Duophonic Records ("The Book Lovers") in the mid-1990s. "The Book Lovers" was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. They attracted the attention of Warp Records, who compiled the singles in 1997 on "Work and Non Work".
The band was chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he curated in May 2010 in Minehead, Somerset, England.
The band's style is a mixture of electronic sounds and Keenan's 1960s-influenced vocals. It is heavily influenced by the 1960s influenced American psychedelic group The United States of America, using many of the same electronic effects. It was also reminiscent of Stereolab. However, despite the similar musical pedigree, Broadcast's music is often darker and edgier in sound – with amorphous samples and analogue dissonance giving it a retro-futuristic sci-fi edge.
On January 14th, 2011, Trish Keenan died from complications caused by pneumonia.

Come on Let's Go
Broadcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're gonna need some help
And you won't fail with me around
Come on let's go
I will tell you if you change
And who's been saying things
It's hard to tell who is real in here
You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on, lets go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go
What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go
When you're looking for a friend
But it's empty at the end
When everybody's disappeared
You won't be alone
If you want I'll compensate
If you overestimate
So there's nothing left to fear
You won't be alone
You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on let's go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go
What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go
The lyrics of "Come on Let's Go" by Broadcast seem to be addressing someone who is lost, perhaps feeling alone and unsure of who to trust. The repeated refrain of "Come on let's go" suggests that the singer is offering to help, urging the listener to take action rather than wallow in their confusion. The opening lines acknowledge that finding one's way is difficult, and that it's okay to ask for help. The next few lines imply that the singer has some insider knowledge of who is talking behind the listener's back, which could suggest a close relationship or even conspiracy between the two. However, the next line "It's hard to tell who is real in here" undermines this, suggesting that even the singer may not be entirely trustworthy.
The chorus of "Come on let's go" is a call to action, urging the listener to stop searching for answers in other people's faces and to instead move forward with the singer. The repetition of this phrase builds a sense of urgency, as if time is running out and there is no better option than to move forward. The second verse continues this theme, describing a situation where the listener feels abandoned and empty. The singer offers to "compensate" for any mistakes the listener may make, suggesting that they will not abandon the listener even if others do.
Overall, the lyrics of "Come on Let's Go" seem to be about the importance of trusting others and moving forward even when things are difficult. The repetition of the title phrase throughout the song suggests that the singer believes in taking action rather than waiting for things to change.

You won't find it by yourself
You can't do it alone
You're gonna need some help
You need someone's help
And you won't fail with me around
You won't fail if I'm around
Come on let's go
Let's go together
I will tell you if you change
I will let you know if you change
And who's been saying things
And who's been talking behind your back

There's no use in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
On strangers
When you're looking for a friend
When you're searching for a friend
But it's empty at the end
But no one is there
When everybody's disappeared
When everyone has left
You won't be alone
You won't be by yourself
If you want I'll compensate
If you need compensation, I'll provide it
If you overestimate
If you're overconfident
So there's nothing left to fear
So there's nothing to be afraid of

You won't find it by yourself, you're gonna need some help
And you won't fail with me around, come on, let's go
I will tell you if you change and who's been saying things
It's hard to tell who is real in here, come on, let's go
You know who to turn to, now everything's changed, come on, let's go
Stop looking for answers in everyone's face, come on, let's go
What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know, come on, let's go
When you're looking for a friend but it's empty at the end
When everybody's disappeared you won't be alone
If you want I'll compensate, if you over estimate
So there's nothing left to fear, you won't be alone
You know who to turn to, now everything's changed, come on, let's go
Stop looking for answers in everyone's face, come on, let's go

What's the point in wasting time on people that you'll never know
When you know who to turn to, now everything's changed

Yea I feel like I needed someone to tell me. Reassure me that it's okay to just vacate premises when you begin to feel like you don't know or can't trust who you're surrounded by. She also eludes that it's safe with her, that she sees you. She knows how you feel despite others maybe not knowing exactly, but she knows.
