Polyvinyl

Polyvinyl is an independent label based in Champaign, Illinois. Founded in 1996 by Matt Lunsford and Darcie Knight Lunsford, the label has become a respected name in the music industry. With a diverse roster of talented *artists* and *performers*, Polyvinyl has established itself as a hub for innovative and boundary-pushing music.

Over the years, Polyvinyl has released albums from a wide range of genres including indie rock, pop, punk, electronic, and more. The label's commitment to quality and artistic integrity is evident in every release they put out. They have consistently championed emerging artists who push the boundaries of their respective genres.

In addition to releasing music, Polyvinyl also offers a variety of merchandise options for fans to support their favorite *artists*. From vinyl records to t-shirts and posters, there is something for everyone. The label's online store provides a convenient way for fans to discover new music while directly supporting the artists they love.

Emo/indie rock band, Braid, was founded in 1993 in Champaign, IL. The original line-up included *Bob Nanna* (vocals/guitar), *Pete Havranek* (guitar), *Jay Ryan* (bass), and *Roy Ewing* (drums). Although only Roy hailed from Champaign, the other members were college students from the Chicago-area. After a few practices, Jay left and was replaced by Todd Bell. Shortly after that, Kate Ruess joined as a second vocalist but departed after two shows and recording one song.
In the summer of 1994, Chris Broach became the lead vocalist. Pete Havranek left due to dissatisfaction with the band's musical direction before they could record their first EP; however, he was still credited on the first pressing. With Pete's departure, Chris took up guitar duties alongside his role as lead singer.
In mid-1999, Braid announced their impending break-up and played their final shows in Champaign, Chicago, and Milwaukee - hometowns of all band members.

Back In Stock

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Braid’s iconic 1998 album, Frame and Canvas, Polyvinyl and the band are thrilled to announce a new version of the album, completely remixed, remastered, and repackaged for 2023. Originally recorded and mixed in the span of just 5 days with producer J. Robbins (The Promise Ring, Against Me!) at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA, Frame and Canvas would eventually become a genre-defining staple and essential listening for indie / emo fans.

Since its release, the album has received praise from outlets such as Stereogum and Rolling Stone, who ranked it at #5 on their “Top 40 Emo Albums of All Time” list. The band would go on to play hundreds of shows across the globe in support of Frame and Canvas from 1998- 99 before disbanding roughly a year after the album’s release. Braid’s influence on the numerous bands and DIY scenes that arose in their wake is vast and undeniable. Remixed by J. Robbins and remastered by Dan Coutant (with vinyl mastering by Bob Weston), the 25th anniversary edition has also been repackaged for a deluxe vinyl release, featuring expanded artwork and additional liner notes written by each band member.
