At The Drive-In Bio
At the Drive-In was an American post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, that was active from 1993 to 2001. They were known for their extremely energetic stage shows which hearkened back to the era when emo was part of the 1980s hardcore punk scene. Their blend of surrealistic lyrics and unpredictable shifts in tempo and rhythm made them one of the more influential bands of the modern day post-hardcore scene.
Influenced by the likes of Pink Floyd, Fugazi, Bad Brains and The Smiths, the band was founded in 1993 by guitarist Jim Ward and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala. At the Drive-In's first studio recording was Hell Paso (Western Breed), an EP issued in 1994. They played their first live show on October 15, 1994 at the Loretto High School Fair in El Paso, Texas. The band's reputation for hard work, the release of their album Relationship of Command, and their minor hit radio single "One Armed Scissor" (which had a music video in circulation on MTV) gave the band positive attention in the rock press towards the end of their career. The band's first nationally televised performance was on FarmClub, a now defunct television show which aired late at night on the USA network. After that performance they also appeared on Later with Jools Holland, Late Night With Conan O'Brien and The Late Show With David Letterman, performing "One Armed Scissor" on national television.
At the Drive-In were noted by the music press for the afros of Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López. The hairstyle became synonymous with the pair's image, which was aesthetically reminiscent of late sixties group The MC5. However, the two have been very vocal about image: Cedric once explained to a crowd, "I'm not the only guy in the band; you don't have to take pictures of me all the time. There's Jim, there's Paul, there's Tony. Just 'cause they don't have curly hair doesn't mean they're not important."
According to some sources, At the Drive-In struggled to recreate their intense live experience in the studio. At one point they tried to circumvent this problem by recording their second album, In/Casino/Out (1998), as a live studio album.
