A year ago the At The Drive-in reunion was in full effect and The Mars Volta had released what would be their final album together. Now, speaking for the first time since the Volta break-up and about the ATD-i reunion, guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez spoke to Rolling Stone and claims that while Volta may be done, ATD-i may have a future.
