The band's name refers to the myelin sheath gaps which are also called Nodes of Ranvier.

History

[edit]

Nodes of Ranvier was formed in September 2000 and has seen 18 different band members including Nick Thomas, the singer from the Sioux Falls band The Spill Canvas,[3] as well as Brian Anderson, lead singer and guitarist from the band All About Sam. By December 2007, the time of the band's break-up, the only remaining original member was guitarist Jon Parker.[2] The band released its first three albums through record label Facedown Records.[4] In February 2007, they signed with Victory Records.[5] Although the band's signing with Victory was touted as a turning point, their July 2007 release, Defined by Struggle, revealed strains between the band and Victory, who reportedly did not do much to promote them.[2] In mid-December 2007, news sources confirmed that Nodes of Ranvier would perform its last show in the same month and then disband.[6] Guitarist Jon Parker, one of the band's founding members, confirmed the announcement to media outlets, ending weeks of fan speculation.[2] On January 24, 2017, it was announced by Facedown Records that the band would be reuniting for Facedown Fest 2017, the 20th anniversary of the label.[7]
