With this lineup, the band self-released a couple of limited EPs between 1994 and 1995. In 1996, drummer Ben Kane joined the band, allowing Elaine to focus solely on vocals. Around the same time, Adam left the group, prompting Elaine to take over his role as rhythm guitarist. This formed Nymb’s core lineup: Elaine on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jamie on lead guitar, Ben on drums, and Chad on bass.
In late 1997, Chad left the band and was replaced by Ryan Klopfenstein, who contributed to the recording of the first two tracks of their EP, “Novembre,” on November 19th and 20th of 1997. Ryan remained with the band until early 1998, when he was succeeded by Cory Verblen. With Cory on bass, the band recorded most of their discography, including their debut and only LP, “So This Is How It Is.”
The final lineup change occurred in late 2000 when Nathan Snydacker replaced Cory, who decided to leave the band to focus on his studies. Nymb released a final EP on August 3, 2001, which was sold during their last performance at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago that same day. The band ultimately disbanded due to creative differences between Elaine and the other members.
