Hours of Operation: Discography, 1991-1994

Before Bob Nanna was writing songs and singing in BRAID and HEY MERCEDES, he sang and played drums in the very influential Chicago band Friction. The band, made up of Bob Nanna, Scott Broadhurst (bass), and Andy Knudsen (guitar), was part of the early ‘90s Chicago indie/emo/punk scene. After some searching, we’ve managed to come up with every song that Friction recorded, whether released or not. All 32 tracks have been completely remastered onto two CDs and repackaged extensively: including tons of photographs, all the lyrics, and complete liner notes. Included on the discs are the band’s one LP: the long out-of-print "Blurred in Six," all the 7"s and compilation tracks, as well as nearly a dozen tracks that were finished for a second album, but never released.
