blakeyoung (October 17, 2008)

Love this band. Amazing stuff all around.

HeyBarmold (October 17, 2008)

And you will know us by the length of our band name

freesandwich (October 17, 2008)

i laughed

LookingForCorpses (October 17, 2008)

Did you just come up with that, or did you decide to resurrect a buddyhead joke from 2002?

HeyBarmold (October 18, 2008)

I made that up. And I'm sure I was the first one to ever do that. These jokes don't just write themselves.

LORDSHREDDER (October 17, 2008)

Most misleading band name. They aren't brutal at all.

TheMike (October 17, 2008)

They were when they started in the mid-90s. But then they started writing music.

the_other_scott (October 17, 2008)

they are one of the loudest bands i've ever seen.

xote (October 17, 2008)

It's funny they toured with Deathclock or whatever that cartoon metal band is...

trevor905 (October 17, 2008)

Happy edge day lets get drunkkkk

deadXlast (October 17, 2008)

What is this about edge day? I'm unaware.

badbrain (October 17, 2008)

It's October 17th dude!

deadXlast (October 17, 2008)

I still don't get it. October 16th would make sense because 8 + 16 = 24 and "x" is the 24th letter... But how the 17th is related to the edge escapes me.

Holy_Balls (October 17, 2008)

Because only 17 year olds claim to be straight edge now. October fits in because it's the 10th month and the 17 year olds who claim to be straight edge have the brain of a 10 year old. 10/17. The number 23 can kiss my ass.

badbrain (October 17, 2008)

This band is on top of my list of "bands all my friends love but that I cannot get into". Tied with My Morning Jacket

kneel (October 17, 2008)

trail of dead is a great band but not exactly groundbreaking or anything. just solid indierock

TheMike (October 17, 2008)

Agreed. Not groundbreaking, but very unique nonetheless.

This sounds a little more conventional, but no less amazing.

kidgotham (October 17, 2008)

I love that they're myspace profile describes them as "Christian Rap / Classical / Black Metal "
This song is good. It has a Who sound to it.

TheMike (October 17, 2008)

It definitely does. The little bass lick after the first chorus sounded a lot like John Entwistle.

Cos (October 17, 2008)

wait, so they have an imprint on Universal after leaving Universal?

Did these guys just pull a Wilco?

TheMike (October 17, 2008)

Sort of, but the difference here is that they have creative control. And they get to handle their own promotion, and pretty much any other administrative task. It's not as anti-climactic as it seems.

LookingForCorpses (October 17, 2008)

Wilco were dropped by one label under the WEA umbrella, and resigned to another label under WEA. Reprise and Nonesuch really had any connection other than the same parent company.

MilesQToast (October 17, 2008)

can anyone recommend some songs that sound good and are relatively easy with just one guitar? I am getting sick of playing front yard screamers (kitchen kissers).

deadXlast (October 17, 2008)

blink182 - any song off of Dude Ranch

wonton (October 17, 2008)

Teenage Bottlerocket- In The Basement.

real easy, you only really need one guitar.

MilesQToast (October 17, 2008)

haha wow. That was one of 2 songs I just gave a try before even asking for help. It's just not the same with just a guitar though.

MilesQToast (October 17, 2008)

yeah not so much 3 chord punk, more lush acoustic based stuff I guess?

royalt (October 20, 2008)

Anything by The Ramones.

TheMike (October 17, 2008)

This is my favourite band. A lot fo people disliked Worlds Apart and So Divided, but I loved them. Source Tags is still their best album, but I think the new full length will be at least a close second.

xote (October 17, 2008)

I loved Worlds Apart... that first song rules so hard.

MyStereoHasMono (October 17, 2008)

Trail of Dead has one of the ugliest singers alive. Who rivals him? The pig face from Division of Laura Lee?

IAmJetBlack (October 17, 2008)

Album cover makes me want to play a Final Fantasy game.

Holy_Balls (October 17, 2008)

I will listen to this after I eat my oatmeal pie. Oatmeal pies are awesome. They really are.

Holy_Balls (October 17, 2008)

I would do this song. It's hot like the spicy fritos. 99 cents? get out of town!

binaural111 (October 18, 2008)
