Already a mythical and legendary band thanks to their over-the-top live shows, El Paso, Texas’ At The Drive-In have put in their years on the road to get where they are today. After six years of releasing independent albums (a lot of them by themselves), non-stop touring, changing members, and developing one of post-hardcore’s most loyal followings, they’ve released their most mature, expansive, and overall best album to date: with Beastie Boys’ own Grand Royal, no less. Relationship of Command is one continuous exorcism, with famed producer Ross Robinson pulling every ounce of strength out of the band’s already insanely energetic identity. The result is eleven tracks of flawless (read: flawless. Not one bad track or weak spot) emotional outburst, sometimes calling for melodies, sometimes calling for screams so urgent it could only come from the deepest corners of the subconscious. This album jumps out of the stereo and chokes your nerves. It’s that intense.
Combining emotional melodies and an upbeat rhythm moving at an unpredictable rate, Texan upstarts At the Drive-In formed in early 1994 and fine honed their sound on a 42 day/10,000 mile US tour, travelling in their newly purchased ’81 Ford Econoline. Nearing the end of this tour they played a gig of legendarily explosive proportions in front of 9 people in a now defunct LA bar and were immediately offered a record deal by Blaze James of Flipside Records who just happened to be one of the nine in attendance.
The first incarnation of ATDI emerged from its El Paso TX breeding ground in the alternative nation heyday of 1994, and steadily amassed a loyal following through (you guessed it) non-stop touring and early releases such as In/Casino/Out (1998) and Vaya (1999) on So. Cal. indie Fearless. As the band's following expanded, so proportionately did its musical scope, pushing beyond the confines and conventions of emo, punk or any number of genres. In keeping with this musical progression, life would ultimately imitate art, and AT THE DRIVE-IN would leave El Paso.
