Current status:
-Before Braille's debut release, The Rumor gathered some major support at college radio, specialty, and got regular rotation in a few major markets around the country. After returning from the Warped Tour, and now free from the label who released The Rumor, the band is looking into some options for releasing their next full length "Kill the Messenger, Keep the Message" (which is currently under production) from a home that can provide solid distribution and tour support.

REVIEWS

Infectious
author: Matt Shimmer, Indieville
                            
"As far as energetic math-rock goes, this is about as good as it gets. Before Braille is an Arizona-based four-piece with a penchant for complex arrangements and subtly infectious melodies. Cattle Punching on a Jack Rabbit is a fine taste of the band's style, and at seven tracks, it packs a lot of content for an EP. After a brief, tone-setting instrumental, the endlessly infectious "Proventil" hits with a bang. It takes cues from the Braid and Fugazi schools of indie rock."

A style all their own
author: Jason C. Jones, In Your Ear
                            
There is one band with one style, clearly their own, singing about the things that matter to them; it's one of the best records I've heard in months"

Do yourself a favor
author: Kyle Thomas, Indie Uprising
                            
Through the deserts of Arizona we just happen to stumble upon the nice little town of Mesa, Arizona where as of late new and refreshing music is taking over and leading the way is the hard-rocking, melodic, undeniably talented 5-piece known as Before Braille. Their latest release is making noise across the states and very good noise I might add. Their latest single is climbing up indie radio and their tour will be coming to find you soon, so if you haven't heard of them do your self a favor and read up.
