The DeBaser review praises Braid's 1998 album Frame & Canvas as a standout of 90s emo-core: energetic, adolescent, and melodically rich. The reviewer situates the band in the American underground, noting influences like Fugazi and Squirrel Bait. It mentions Braid's 1999 breakup and their 2004 reunion, and recommends Bob Nanna's solo work.
