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.

K.C. Accidental Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
K.C. Accidental's song Theme was released in 2000 and remains one of their most popular songs. The song begins with the haunting line "you're on..." which immediately captures the listener's attention. The next line, "you murdered your best friend," is equally shocking and leaves the listener wondering what could have led to such a tragic event. However, the lyrics can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context. It could be a metaphorical death, such as the end of a friendship or a betrayal, or it could be a literal murder. Regardless of the interpretation, the lyrics showcase the intense emotions felt when a relationship is damaged beyond repair.
The rest of the song is instrumental, with a catchy bassline, infectious guitar riffs, and a driving drumbeat. The lack of lyrics allows the listener to focus on the complexity of the music and the emotions it evokes. The song builds to a climactic finish, leaving the listener feeling both exhausted and satisfied. Theme is a prime example of K.C. Accidental's ability to create music that is both thought-provoking and engaging.
