And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead

I don't know anything about these lads, other than they are from Texas, and they have one of the most ludicrous names in rock.
I have checked the internet for some pearls of wisdom:

Yes, it’s howlingly pretentious, but it’s also admirably distinct from the frat-boy nu-metal which currently passes for US rock. As the title track opines, “"It’'s so fucked these days, we don'’t know who to hate and who to praise".

”
Which is kind of what this blog is all about, so that's nice .

..And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead is an Austin, Texas based psychedelic folk rock band originally formed sometime during the waning days of the Russian Revolution. Bringing pure fucking rock and roll to the deepest depths of your musically tormented soul.

well, they would say that, wouldn't they?
