Rush Influences Alternative Rock Band Trail Of Dead

Texas alternative rock band And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (aka "Trail Of Dead") are currently on tour supporting their new album, Tao Of The Dead.  In a new interview with the Baltimore Sun, lead singer and founder Conrad Keely discusses the influence of Rush:

"My mom got me into Rush. It's one of those relationships with a band that [I've] been listening to since I was a kid. I respect their longevity. But I also kind of relate to [drummer] Neil Peart, the way he had these literary aspirations with their music. I relate to that in a big way." - Conrad Keely, Trail Of Dead, Baltimore Sun, May 5, 2011
