REISSUE. Frame and Canvas is not only the definitive BRAID record, but also an album that practically defined the genre known today as "emo." It was recorded with J Robbins (JAWBOX) and originally released in 1998. In the past five years, the record has sold over 25,000 copies and continues to be a top back catalog seller. Frame and Canvas was recently named Alternative Press' #2 "essential emo album."
