| With
their first major-label release, Austin's most destructive live act will
hopefully move from notoriety for trashing their instruments to appreciation for
the way they use them. Source Tags and Codes is the third release from the band
with the long name, and it is a volatile time bomb of emo, art rock, and post
rock that explodes with emotion on every song. The walls of guitar effects and tense, heated vocals provide the band's driving aggression, but they soften the blows with bouts of dark melody, even adding strings and piano in places. With enough twists in its movements to ward off any signs of predictability, Source Tags & Codes is an impressive rock collage that exposes new musical layers with each listen. -- Amazon.com Review, 2002 -- Read More Reviews -- Buy now from: Amazon.com -- Insound.com |

| Austin,
Texas-via-Olympia, Washington's Trail of Dead kick sheets of head-melting skree
equal parts Texas rawk swagger and Pacific Northwest postpunk thunder. Everyone
trades off instruments (there's that Olympia communal-ism) on divine screamers
that aren't above driving the occasional melody with a buried xylophone. "Mark David Chapman" is the thinking punk's midtempo ballad of the year, piling emo elegies like "It's just another black stare/ To a world that loves or hates you on a dare" onto guitar hooks worthy of Total Request Live. And "Aged Dolls" is for everyone who thought our great nation ceded the proggy epic to Mogwai and Radiohead in some unfortunate trade agreement. -- Spin Magazine Review, 2000 -- Read More Reviews -- Buy now from: Amazon.com -- Insound.com | |

| Finally,
a band with some ambition. These fresh-faced killers have the sort of cocky
swagger that Brit ass-wipes like Oasis get away with all the time, but that most
American groups are too sincere to affect. Sure, it might be more accurate to
Know Them By The Trail of CDs They Copped Stuff From -- most notably, the work
of Pavement and the Sex Pistols -- but the members of this Austin, Texas,
foursome (by way of Hawaii and Olympia, Washington) have worked their punchy
post-punk sound into something good enough and loud enough to call their own. -- New Times Los Angeles, 1998 -- Read More Reviews -- Buy now from: Amazon.com -- Insound.com | ||||
