When I first heard ...Trail of Dead, I thought to myself, "At last! An antidote to boring indie rock!" As it turns out, I was wrong. Boring indie rock gave out to emo, which is more boring but with the pretension that they are being "sincere". In any sense, I was just happy these guys knew how to rock out.
As this video showcases, what ...Trail of Dead does so well is bridge the gap between brutality and melody giving a glimpse into a texture that is quite reflective. Anyone who still has hope that rock and roll has a pulse can appreciate this song. ...Trail of Dead is not so concerned with any kind of halcyon days. They just want to move forward and create music that no one has heard before.
I think they do a bang-up job.

Is it America's late, and trendy, answer to Placebo - I wonder. It could be. But then again, I've only heard that one song. Who knows?
