[edit] History

Nodes of Ranvier formed in 2000 and has seen 18 different band members in its roster including Nick Thomas, the singer from notable Sioux Falls band The Spill Canvas.[2] To date, the only remaining original member is guitarist Jon Parker.[1] The band released its first three albums through Christian record label Facedown Records.[3] In February 2007, they signed with Victory Records. Although the band's signing with Victory was touted as a turning point, their July release Defined by Struggle revealed strains between the band and Victory, who reportedly did not do much to promote them.[1]

In mid-December 2007, news sources confirmed that Nodes of Ranvier would perform its last show in the same month and then break up. Guitarist Jon Parker, one of the band's founding members, confirmed the announcement to media outlets, ending weeks of fan speculation.[1]
