Ep. 287: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead w/ Conrad Keely & Jason Reece
Follow my Instagram Join my Street Team! Give me money on my Patreon …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead formed in Austin, Texas in the mid-'90s, led by longtime creative partners Conrad Keely and Jason Reece. The band quickly became known for explosive live shows, smashed gear, instrument swapping, and a sound that blended post-hardcore, noise rock, punk, and indie rock. Their early albums built a strong underground following before they signed with Interscope Records and released Source Tags & Codes in 2002. That album became the band's breakthrough, featuring songs like "Another Morning Stoner," "Relative Ways," and "How Near, How Far." Over the years, Trail of Dead continued experimenting with everything from sprawling concept albums to progressive and orchestral rock while keeping their raw energy intact. More than 25 years into their career, they remain one of the most unpredictable and ambitious bands to come out of the late-'90s indie and post-hardcore scene. I got Conrad and Jason on the Zoom and this is what we chat about: Growing up in Seattle scene Sneaking into a studio to record their first album Merge Records Interscope Records Recording Source Tags & Codes Trashing their equipment during their sets Will You Smile Again The Jesus Lizard story Their thoughts on Spotify and streaming The Slipknot story (you don't want to miss this one) And a ton more Go give Conrad's Patreon a follow Catch Jason's band on tour and give their instagram a follow.

Frontman Buddy Nielsen has remained the driving force behind the group, guiding its evolution through multiple lineup changes while continuing to release new music. Albums like Let It Enfold You, Still Searching, and Life Is Not a Waiting Room helped cement Senses Fail as a staple for fans of heartfelt, cathartic rock.

And follow my IG @thiswasthescene Small Towns Burn a Little Slower was a Minneapolis/St. Paul band that blended emo, indie rock, and pop punk into a sound that felt both melodic and emotionally raw. Formed in 2002, they quickly built a loyal following through relentless touring and releases on Rise Records, Triple Crown Records, and Dead Letter Records. Their 2005 full length, Mortality as Home Entertainment, earned them recognition from Alternative Press as one of its "100 Bands You Should Know About." Their music paired soaring hooks with introspective lyrics, making them a standout in the mid 2000s emo scene alongside many of the era's rising bands. Although they called it a day in 2008, their catalog has continued to find new listeners and remains a favorite among fans of heartfelt, guitar driven punk and emo. Chitty from Houston Calls mentioned them on his interview so I gave them a listen, dug it, got them on the Zoom, and this is what we chat about: The Minnesota scene The bread theft Getting on Rise Records Their first tour being 3 months long Triple Crown Records Recording with Ed Rose Auditioning for Drive Thru Myspace Kind of getting screwed by Immortal Records And a ton more Ryan has a new EP so go check it out.
