Braid's Killing A Camera video, documenting their last 4 days and 5 shows as a band, was promised way back in 1999 but took two years to finally materialize, to little fanfare. People had moved on; trends had shifted; bands that owed their livelihood to Braid's now-patented dual-guitar attack and their infectious brand of melodic post-hardcore stopped crediting them as an influence, instead letting kids think that they themselves were the originators. It's a shame, really, because Braid is one of the defining bands of the mid-to-late nineties emo/post-hardcore movement, and they deserve to be seen and heard as much as possible.

to the poster below me: how can you say that the age of octeen is simple? It's probably some of the most complex music they've done. In my opinion The Age Of Octeen is their best work. Its a good inbetween of frankie welfare boy and frame and canvas not overly polished and simple but not to gritty. Anyone who doesnt like Braid is nuts. They are probably one of the most essential minerals in the recipe we know as Hardcore Music Yes, it's region zero. (_(_)=======[jjjj]===[jjjj]===lD~ ~~ ~ does anyone else think that the new Goodlife is going to be fucking amazing That trailer was great, really great song, fantazzle visuals, question is, is it region encoded? Will us europeans get to buy it? So why did braid break up anyway? will the krazyfest dvd's ever come out? To the person who was asking which Braid records to buy: Get Frame & Canvas Movie Music Volume 1. That's where their best stuff is. the anti-braid comes from damn stuck up east coasters. the only braid album they have heard is frames and canvas, and nothing else. where the fuck did all this braid hate come from? braid are so great. it's unfortunate you other guys don't get it. Hey where can i listen to mineral, i heard they are great and th whole is emo a type of music? I agree that it isn't mark pryor (i think thats his name i could be correct, Get up kids) said "music by definition is emotional" does anyone else think that the new Goodlife is going to be fucking amazing Braid is definetly the best. But Cap'n Jazz and Mineral are still pretty darn good. "RECOVER FUCKING SLAYS." before anyone corrects me......Whos the BEST out of those below whos better braid, cap'n jazz, owls, or mineral............ps i recently got frankie welfare boy age five and i didnt like it too much.....what braid cd should i buy The person typing below is a moron. I do agree though that emo is not a real form of music. I have never heard there guys but Im sure they suck. When I think of Braids I think of Hippies, and with a name so shitty they must suck. I personally dont even consider emo to be music. excuse me, but "What the hell is the guy doing on the cover?" Nothing like brotherly heckling... This band is so awful. I was at one of these "last" shows. Suckage! God damn yes! Braid really is one of the best bands I've ever heard, and this release only further gets me pumped to see them when they hit Philly reunited. Anyone who doesn't think Braid was influential, listen to any post-hardcore, indie, and especially emo band these days and you will hear traces of Braid. Still no one could manage to pull it off as well as them. God damn, these guys are good. so you're saying that if i purchase this, i get to see your sweaty adolescent ass dancing? Bonus! What the hell is the guy doing on the cover? I dont think you realize when braid came out. I think they released their first song in like 93 or 94, they were very influential on post hardcore/emo. can't wait to see these guys this summer. I agree. The only song I ever like by these guys was their pixies cover. Sorry. Pass. I don't think Braid was really all that influential - I mean, their sound was pretty much just Promise Ring crossed with Sebadoh. |
