n 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 continues to grow over a decade later.

In April 2010, after years of being out of print, Polyvinyl re-issued Braid’s first two full-lengths, Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five and The Age of Octeen, on vinyl. As well,Movie Music Vol. 1 and Movie Music Vol. 2 were made available for the first time as separate double-LP releases.
