With the recent release of Lost Songs, …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead has returned to its punk rock roots.

The Austin, Texas quartet, featuring Jason Reece and Conrad Keely alternating guitar, drums and lead vocals, brings its electric show to NYC’s Irving Plaza on Friday, November 16th.
