At the Drive‐In

In January 2001, At the Drive-In performed at the Big Day Out festival in Sydney, showcasing their high-energy post-hardcore sound during a pivotal moment in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Relationship of Command," which debuted in September 2000. The album is often regarded as a landmark in the genre, featuring a blend of aggressive instrumentation and introspective lyrics that helped elevate the band's visibility internationally. The live recording of "Pattern Against User" captures the dynamic stage presence that the band was known for, highlighting their experimentation with complex rhythms and intricate guitar work. Interestingly, just a few months after this performance, the band announced their breakup, making this era significant as one of the last opportunities for fans to experience their live intensity before their hiatus and subsequent reunions in later years.
