At the Drive‐In

In January 2001, At the Drive-In was at a pivotal point in their career, having just released their critically acclaimed album "Relationship of Command" in September 2000. This live performance of "Arcarsenal" at the Big Day Out festival in Sydney captures the band at the height of their creative powers and growing popularity, as "Relationship of Command" received significant attention and helped solidify their reputation in the post-hardcore scene. The band's unique blend of energetic performances and genre-defying music attracted a dedicated following, and this live recording showcases their dynamic stage presence and intricate sound. Notably, the intensity of their live shows was a defining characteristic of At the Drive-In, and this performance highlights the band's commitment to their energetic artistry during a time of rapid growth and change, before they disbanded later that same year.
