''Broken Van'' is a compilation of early and previously unreleased material by The Broadways. It completes the band's discography alongside their sole full-length album Broken Star with two exceptions: "Fuck the Church", available only on the Drive-Thru Records compilation ''Where's the Beef?'' and the original version of "Ben Moves To California," originally simply called "Ben," which appeared on the ''We All Know You Can Do It'' 7", but was not included on this collection, due to being rerecorded and included on Broken Star. Tracks 1-7 were new and unreleased, recorded in May 1998. The songs were intended for release soon after, possibly on a split CD with Baxter. () The remaining tracks originally appeared on the band's early 7" vinyl EPs: tracks 8-10 from ''We All Know You Can Do It'' (released on the band's own Bicycle Records) and tracks 11-15 from ''Big City Life'' (Asian Man Records). In 2007 Asian Man Records announced plans to reissue both of The Broadways' albums on vinyl and CD. ''Broken Star'' had long since sold out on vinyl, while ''Broken Van'' had been CD-only; both had for some time been out of stock on CD. () In late 2007 Mike Park posted a topic on the label's forum stating that he could not find a CD edition of ''Broken Van'' from which to produce the vinyl edition, and would require a fan to provide one in order to proceed. () The record went on sale in July 2008. The title is a reference to the band's van that broke down in 1998, having to be towed by Dan Hanaway's parents. At the time, the band members couldn't stand each other, Dan even spitting on Brendan on stage. They decided to end the band when they got back to Chicago. == Track listing == The primary vocalist/lyricist for each song is specified. # "Floundering" (Kelly) – 1:37 # "Not Necessarily the News" (Hanaway) – 2:42 # "2nd Grade Cells" (McCaughan) – 3:41 # "One Man Board Of Directors" (Kelly) – 3:54 # "Natural Disaster" (McCaughan) - 2:06 # "Under My Belt" (Hanaway) – 2:36 # "It Was Pancho Villa" (Kelly) – 2:22 # "T.V.
