History
At the Drive-In played post-hardcore as controlled chaos: jagged, interlocking guitars, sudden stops, lurching rhythms, with Cedric Bixler-Zavala's yelped, surreal lyrics on top. The band formed in El Paso, Texas, in the mid-1990s, with guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López joining Bixler-Zavala at the centre alongside Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos and Tony Hajjar. Constant touring earned them a name for ferocious live shows. In/Casino/Out in 1998 caught that energy on record with little polish. Relationship of Command in 2000, produced by Ross Robinson, was the breakthrough, and One Armed Scissor put them on television and into the mainstream. Then, at the peak, they went on hiatus in 2001. Bixler-Zavala and Rodríguez-López formed The Mars Volta, while Ward, Hinojos and Hajjar went on as Sparta. The band reunited more than once, and in•ter a•li•a in 2017 was their first album in seventeen years, made without Ward. Listeners recognise them by the stabbing dual guitars, the frantic tempo shifts and a singer who sounds like he is losing control on purpose.
