...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead (often abbreviated as Trail of Dead) are an American alternative rock band from Austin, Texas. The chief creative members of the band are Jason Reece and Conrad Keely (formerly Conrad Sobsamai). The two switch between drumming, guitar and lead vocals, both on recordings and live shows. The band is known for their wild, energetic concerts, which often end with the band destroying their equipment. Their eighth studio album, Lost Songs, was released in October 2012.

== Links To Peel ==
Peel played tracks from the band's debut album in 1997 and would invite them to do two sessions for his show. On his 16 April 2000 (BFBS) show, he praised their performance at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival earlier that month: 
"One of the high points for me was the set by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead: a bit of an unknown quantity when they came to the gig, really, but they left stars, I like to think."
After 2002, Peel lost interest in them and they were rarely played on his shows.
