We also discuss how Chris joined Braid during the band's early days, their creative process, their landmark 1998 LP "Frame and Canvas" and the band's initial breakup shortly after its release, the reunions, Chris's solo music his new single "Shoulder Your Own" and more.”
8/7/2024: Split Stream | Chris Broach, “Shoulder Your Own.” and Palm Ghosts, “Fellow Immortalists” - “In recent years, Broach has released music with more electro-tinged bands like SNST and The Firebird Band, but with these singles, we see his sights moving back to guitar. In truth, these songs highlight what made Chris Broach’s contributions to Braid so complementary and crucial”

May 11, 2024. The Silver Lining, by Paul Silver - Review: “Blood Thicker Than Honey,”… indie pop with a grunge guitar tone, with distorted guitar and bass that, nevertheless, sparkle and shine. Vocals are shouted and sung with equal measures of joy and alarm. It’s a compelling song that leaves me wanting more.”
5/9/2024: The Alternative: Song Premiere “Blood Thicker Than Honey” at The Alternative - “tuneful, instantly hummable song from him, but it’s got more bite than his work in The Firebird Band or SNST”
