Back when At The Drive-In was putting out records and going out on tours they were about the most exciting thing in rock 'n' roll. It almost felt like as they broke up rock took a turn toward nostalgia with bands like The Hives and the White Stripes kicking out throw back style jams, a staunch opposite to At The Drive-In's progressive stance.
