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.

Yr Body Is Nothing was originally released by DKA Records. All three LP pressings sold out in a matter of weeks. With a heavy emphasis on rhythm and atmosphere, the 10-songs presented here showcase a songwriting and production style that is sophisticated and unique, dark but powerfully uplifting. The sound is paradoxically massive yet minimal, providing the perfect space for Jae Matthews’ rich, deep, and emotive vocals to occupy as she, along with co-pilot Gus Muller, pulls the listener ever deeper with each passing song. Boy Harsher is a dark electronic duo that produces gritty dance beats infused with ethereal vocals, creating a sound that is eerie, intense and incredibly danceable. Augustus Muller develops the underbelly of sound with minimal beats and grinding synths, where Jae Matthews whispers, screams and chants on top. Together, the music created is somewhere between industrial, drone and confessional storytelling. Muller and Matthews both have a strong background in film and their cinematic approach translates effectively in both their recordings and live performance, where the band have steadily been creating a loyal following. These two albums are available on CD for the first time with these reissues.
