Break-ups: At The Drive-In (1994-2001)

"I was listening to the radio today and on the news they said that At the drive-in has decided to disband after almost a decade together." This is confirmed at their Official Site. (Update: The exact phrase they're using on the site is "indefinite hiatus")

You would think that after OpIvy broke up for more or less the same reason (from what I've read and seen) that ATD would know not to fucking disband because they're "too big."

This has got to be the dumbest thing a band has ever done.

Crappy indie band gets on a great label, critics call it their new cd the best album of the year, then they break up, fucking idiots.

well this is great, it's understandable that ATDI is taking a break, but if they're done for, then that's yet another punk band, like the Refused, that actually believed in sounding different and not just being a clone. Well at least there are a million awful NOFX/Blink 182/Bad Religion copies to take their place.

bullshit

ATDI have not "de band" at all. they have been touring and recording non stop for like 6 years and just want a break due to exhaustion and they've been real sick lately. THEY HAVE NOT BROKEN UP!

'indefinate hiatis' does not mean 'broken up'.... so they pulled out of a few tours because they are burnt out... of course they would, it would exhausting playing shows with a level of energy like theirs every night......... rumours suck... they are taking a break!

I haven't heard much of this band, but what i have heard wasn't all that great. everyone praises them for sounding so different, but there's plenty of bands out there with a unique sound thats better than At-the-drive-in.try Lifetime,Jawbreaker,or Flogging Molly if different is what your after. This news means absolutely nothing to me.
