…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

The live recording of “…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” performing an acoustic version of "Awestruck" took place at the Scala in London, during the promotional period for their album "Lost Songs," which was released in 2012. This period marked a significant phase in the band's career as they sought to return to their roots after a series of experimental albums. "Lost Songs" was received positively, showcasing a more direct, aggressive sound that emphasized the band's post-hardcore influences. The performance in the stairwell reflects their DIY ethos, as the band has often embraced a hands-on approach to their music and performances. Notably, the acoustic setting contrasts with their typically high-energy live shows, highlighting the versatility of their songwriting. The choice of a stairwell also captures the intimate, raw essence that the band cultivated, reinforcing their dedication to connecting with fans in unique ways.
