This week I bought Source Tags And Codes by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and I already think that this is the best heads-down, no-nonsense punk rock (in the real sense of the word) record since Nirvana's 'Nevermind'. Yes, that good. Really. While many other recent guitar records have been little more than glorified pastiches, this feels like the real deal. Beg, borrow or download a copy now. Not just because it tramples all over their reverential contemporaries, but also because this is a record that you're gonna be coming back to year after year, just like you're still listening to your Pixies records now...
