At The Drive-In Website Intro from MONDIAL on Vimeo.
11 years after they broke-up, indie punks / post-hardcore hero's At The Drive-In have confirmed they are reuniting!Initial rumors started after a festival organizer in Russia claimed the band were playing, yet nothing from the band confirmed anything. Since the band's split in 2000, At the Drive-in severed into two bands, The Mars Volta and Sparta and for years fans have waited for them to reunite.
As the years rolled on and more and more talk of a reunion came to surface, reps for the band and members of the band would strike it down until now. Earlier today, the band tweeted "¡ ATTENTION ! To whom it may concern: AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11 year silence THIS STATION IS …NOW…OPERATIONAL." With an active website now and video (which you can watch above), the punks from El Paso, Texas are back!
Last year, Officially A Yuppie Owner, Salvatore Bono wrote a special article for UK's Spectator- Night and Day Arts Blog about the band's breakthrough record, Relationship of Command. You can read that HERE.
