A band from El Paso, TX. They were highly successful in the mid-90s underground scene until the single "One Armed Scissor" was released and played quite frequently on MTV in the late 90s. But even during their popularity on MTV, they still stuck to their roots, playing with the same energy as they did when they were still underground and not conforming to the stereotypical MTV egocentric band. They eventually broke up in 2001, but the reason why is still in debate. Some say it's because they didn't want to become mainstream, some say it was artistic differences, and some say it's a mix of the two. Either way, their break up formed two different bands: Sparta, which is similar to At the Drive-In, but not as energetic in my opinion, and The Mars Volta, which is quite different from At the Drive-In and the main reason to support the "artistic differences" reason for the break up.
Damn, I wish I'd seen At the Drive-In live when I had the chance.

A band that hails from El Paso, Texas and stays true to its routes no matter what the circumstances. All around the wickest band in its class. Energetic, fast paced, intelligent rock that's bound to reach your soul. Napoleon Solo is a wicked song.
If you don't know who At The Drive-In are, you're listening to too much hip-hop and heavy metal on MTV. Therefore you suck.

The Murphy's Law of Driving
1) The car infront of you is always slower.
2) The car in back of you always wants to go faster.
3) There is never traffic until you start to back out of your driveway.
4) There is never traffic until you reach the stop sign.
5) When you are in a hurry, everyone is on a joy ride.
6) When you are looking for an address, everyone is in a hurry.
7) Bugs, salt, and other grime on the windshield are attracted to the area directly infront of your line of sight.
8) If a car in the other lane is hovering between you and the car infront of you, he wants to switch, even though...
9) Turn signals (blinkas) are never used.
10) Your exit is 3 lanes to the right, and about 200 feet away.
