EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD + INTERVIEW: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Bells Of Creation

Though some of them recently re-located from Austin to New York City, ...And You Know Us By The Trail Of Dead will always sound like a Texan band, if only because their music is as mammoth and indignant as the Lone Star State herself. Over five albums and as many EPs and singles, they've perfected a towering brand of rock music with skyscraper-huge guitars and drums that sound like they're loaded with C4. In early 2009 the band will release a yet-untitled album they've been working on for the past year, an album they recorded with producers Mike McCarthy, Frenchie Smith, and Chris Coady that will be their first for their own Richter Scale imprint. A four-track collection of songs from those sessions were released as the Festival Thyme EP in October, and "Bells Of Creation" is the first song from that EP, which sounds like The Who if they'd decided to write about epic viking battles instead of pinball wizards. The band have graciously hooked up an exclusive download of the track for the next SEVEN DAYS so make sure to grab this one right now. Also hit the break to read a chat we had with frontman Corad Keeley about the song and how it was inspired by Mormonism, School Of Seven Bells, and a hymn Keeley heard as a youngster.

Sounds like: The Who, The Velvet Underground, The Secret Machines
