And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

[meegannie]

Remember when they were all SUPER-hyped and everyone talked about them all the time?

Those were fun times, huh?

 

[Zoomerang96]

apparently theyre quite good if you can tolerate hyper whipper-snappers.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like them.

 

[meegannie]

Who cares how good they are? They were featured on MTV2's You Hear It First and they smashed things and everyone just HAD to see them live. Then *poof*!!! Who Will Know Whom By the Trail of What?

 

[meegannie]

Oh, oh! And Elbow talked about them one time.

Share your favourite And You Will Know Us.... memories.

I was a fan before their newest album was even released.

Memories? How about how they were on the majority of the best albums of 2002 lists. That was a good memory.

 

[Basstrap]

they are much more than a memory! I just bought their new EP and it really rocks.
especially Crowning of a Heart

I love their style of song writing. Like Mogwai on speed or something.
they have 2 or 3 riffs in a song which are really nice and catchy.
hows about Relative Ways!! that song rocks the kasbar

One of my students is friends with a member of that band. She was really excited to come to class and tell me that her friend had partied with Bono, and that he thought Bono was as cool as everyone says he is.

I'm kind of glad they haven't hit it big. Sometimes it's nice to keep a few good bands to ourselves!

By the way, one of their songs has been translated into Latin and is hanging up in the languages building here at my university. And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead seems to be alive and kicking around here, just not huge stars.

*Damn typos!

 

[Johnny Swallow]

Worst band name ever.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Never heard them. Maybe I ought to...

 

[no disk]

Yeah, their name's cumbersome, but their new EP is dern gut.

 

[IWasBored]

i like them. i think the new album is a bit better than the last, although i still haven't really listened to it thoroughly. anyone want to tell me what track 1 is called? i can't read it on the cd case...

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

Worst band name ever.

No no no! BEST band name. EVER. besides Hootie & The Blowjobs.

 

[u2popmofo]

No no no! BEST band name. EVER.

Yeah, I seriously love that band name.

 

[Diemen]

I like their stuff, although it's not something for late night listening. Quite good for when you've got the place to yourself and want some loud aggressive music, though.

 

[Johnny Swallow]

Yeah, I seriously love that band name.

If I want literature I'll read a book.

First time I heard them I loved them - then the buzz came - and I am not sure if it has really hightened from a lite buzz
