When I first read that Braids were touring, I got really excited… and then I realized that there was an ‘s’ at the end of their name and lo, it was indeed Canadian buzz band Braids, and not the defunct Chicago punk band Braid. Oh well. Be sure to check out Braids with an ‘s’ on the road next year, touring in support of their debut album, Native Speaker, due out on January 18, 2011 through Kanine Records (Flemish Eye in Canada).
