WORDS / PRESS

BIO

“In the 1990's musical landscape, Champaign-Urbana, Illinois' Braid carved a place for themselves that continues to resonate.

Armed with a much deserved reputation as a touring band, their dual guitar and vocal assault coupled with a math-rockesque rhythm section earned them a legion of fans and a popularity that -- after re-forming in 2011 -- is ongoing.” - taken from Polyvinyl Records

History:

Chris Broach joined Braid in the fall of 1994 and has been a member of the band from its first 7” until the present.
