Urbana IL, United States (1993 – 1999)

Braid was a post-hardcore band from Urbana, Illinois that formed in 1993. After forming, the band went through several line-up changes but eventually settled on: Bob Nanna on vocals and guitar, Todd Bell on bass, Chris Broach on guitar and vocals and Roy Ewing on drums. Roy was replaced in 1997 by Damon Atkinson. In 1999 Braid disbanded and went on to form Hey Mercedes with all band members minus Chris Broach (who went on to form The Firebird Band) and adding Mark Dawursk. The band reformed for a US tour in 2004 and, now that Hey Mercedes are defunct, apparently intend to tour sporadically. It is not yet known if Braid will be recording any more material.

Braid did a reunion tour in 2004 in the U.S.A., Canada, & Japan.

dude my uncle was going to U of I at the height of the Braid times. I currently go to ISU and like, probably would have basically lived in Urbana because of the awesome music 10 + years ago.

Age of Octeen is fantastic. Not into this emo stuff really, but these guys blow me away.

One of the greats. Age of Octeen is classic. It makes me chuckles when people say how much they miss this band but were like 9 years old when they were still legitimately active.

Probably my most favourite band ever from that genre... their first European Tour with Get Up Kids was so awesome.

The chandelier swing and autobiography make one of my favorite album endings in all of the music that I enjoy. Such a great band.
