...And
You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are a band from Austin, TX.
It’s as good a place as any; a once and future frontier town that has
it’s share of conspiracy theorists and militant whack-jobs. However,
their music is not exactly what one might expect from Austin...this ain’t
no honkey-tonk, and it sure isn’t alt country or southern fried rock
‘n roll. The Trail of Dead are all about full throttle, in your face
sonic rock. Its new punk for a new millennium, or it would be if the term
"punk" (or the word millenium for that matter) still held any
sort of relevance
.
The songs are awash with distorted guitars and throbbing percussion. They
do that soft-loud/loud-soft thing pretty well at times, but to describe
Trail Of Dead as emo or post rock would be missing the point entirely. They
are apocalyptic rock. They are primordial rock. But those are just labels,
and labels are just feeble attempts to classify and restrict. The Trail
of Dead are not about labels. They are about rock. Playing rock ‘n
roll, becoming famous and dying. And starting fires along the way.
