Braid

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

In a search to find others interested in trading videos of live shows, drummer/singer Bob Nanna, of Friction, placed a classified ad in Maximum Rock 'n Roll and met drummer Roy Ewing, of Champaign-Urbana, IL, in 1993. That fall, Bob, a freshman at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, started hanging out with Roy, who played in Lowercase N. Bob's friend guitarist Pete Havranek, of 42 Loads and Inkadink, wanted to play with someone new, so Roy volunteered.

Frame and Canvas was recently named Alternative Press' #2 "essential emo album."[ read more ]

The sophomore full-length from a band marked by its passionate vocals, excellent wordplay, dueling guitars, and a relentless rhythm section -- powerful sounds with a heart of gold. Once the heir apparent to the post-Fugazi/Jawbox throne of emo-whatever, Braid called it quits in 1999. But fortunately, they left us with this gem. Braid's line-up for "The Age Of Octeen" was singer/guitarist Bob Nanna (Hey Mercedes!, Friction, The City On Fim), bassist Todd Bell (Hey Mercedes!), drummer Roy Ewing (Very Secretar   [ read more ]

Two steps behind anything of significance, Braid must've built up enough frustration to convince themselves that they could only be understood in a live environment, which would explain 2000's Lucky to Be Alive, Braid's fourth release and first live LP. Here the band had an unquestionable live desperation that translated well onto disc and they were a confident unit when hammering their style down to its basics, but the squall-heavy guitars and insecure percussion kept the band from exploring anyth   [ read more ]
