I heard them when they first started appearing a good few years back. I can't say I was overly impressed, but they had an original sound and
apparently they're newer stuff is pretty darn decent. They seemed to be a band with lots of energy and commitment to their music, in a Mars-Volta/At
The Drive In vein, so they can't be bad
I got Madonna and Source Tags and Codes a while back because on Amazon it said if you like ATD-I, you'll like the Trail of Dead. I thought hey,
listened to a preview, and they were alright. I like about half of their songs i've got.
