The Raymond Brake was an indie rock band. They formed in the mid-1990s in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. Greensboro being only 45 minutes drive away from Chapel Hill, the city's music scene was an influence and a guiding light. Members of the band included Andy Cabic - guitar/vocals, Ryan Stewart - guitar/vocals, Peder Hollinghurst - bass (1993–1996), Matt Houston - bass (1996–1998), and Joel Darden - drums.Their first releases were two 7" records, both released in 1994.
