Press eject and give me the tape if you know whats good for you, whats good for you.

At the Drive-in (atd-i) is hands down the best punk band of all time. I just finished listening to the El Gran Orgo ep and it blew my mind. I have had it for quite a while, and knew it kicked ass, but sometimes you just pick up a cd and listen to it again, and realize that it is just amazing. Go download some atd-i now. I reccomend: give it a name and fahrenheit(el gran orgo ep); initiation and ticklish(acrobatic tenemant lp); alpha centauri, chanbara and napoleon solo(in/casino/out lp): metronome arthritis, 300 MHz, and rascuache(Vaya ep); and arcarsenal,rolodex propaganda and cosmonaut(relationship of command lp). Whew...quite the list.

When Atd-i broke up, they split into the mars volta and sparta. Both bands are awesome, though the mars volta are more experimental while sparta is more your new school alt/punk. If you don't know of these bands either...go download some. Im too lazy to make another list so find it yourself.
