At The Drive In - in•ter a•li•a

As ballistic and angry as ever.

At The Drive In - in•ter a•li•a

Bowing out at the turn of the millennium with their undisputed crowning glory, third album ‘Relationship Of Command’, At The Drive In were always going to be up against it with what they produced next.

‘in•ter a•li•a’ begins with a song called ‘There’s No Wolf Like The Present’, and it’s clear across the whole record that At The Drive In have no real interest in looking back. Singles ‘Incurably Innocent’ and ‘Governed By Contagions’ show the El Paso five-piece to be as ballistic and angry as ever, and they bound through the album’s 11 tracks with complete abandon.

Reinvigorated after a so-so initial comeback in 2012, and with their notorious fire burning once again, ‘in•ter a•li•a’ sees At The Drive In returning with an album that’s worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder alongside their revered back catalogue.
