…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

In November 2014, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead was riding high on the wave of their album "IX," which had been released just a year prior, in 2013. The live recording at La Maroquinerie in Paris showcases the band’s explosive energy and deep-rooted connection with their fans, embodying their reputation for chaotic and passionate performances. This was a notable period for the band, as they were celebrating nearly two decades in the music scene and reaffirmed their distinct sound, melding post-rock with a punk sensibility. It’s fascinating to see how their live shows echo the raw emotion and intricate instrumentation found in "IX," with tracks from their earlier discography like "Source Tags & Codes" still resonating. This performance is a vibrant snapshot of their evolution as artists, proving that their spirit remains undiminished, even as they've navigated through the vicissitudes of the music industry.
