At the Drive‐In

In December 2000, when At the Drive-In performed "Rolodex Propaganda" on TFI Friday, the band was riding a wave of critical acclaim following the release of their acclaimed album "Relationship of Command" earlier that year. This album was significant as it marked their major label debut, creating a broader platform for their unique blend of post-hardcore and punk. The performance captured on TFI Friday showcased the band's high-energy stage presence and innovative sound, which was pivotal in shaping the post-hardcore genre. Interestingly, during the performance, frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala made a personal announcement wishing bassist Zia McCabe a happy birthday, highlighting the close-knit dynamics within the band. This live recording represents a peak moment in their career, reflecting their growing popularity and the impactful release that "Relationship of Command" became in the early 2000s.
