"One Armed Scissor" - At The Drive In

Band: At the Drive In
Album: Relationship of Command
Released: September 12, 2000
Home Town: El Paso, TX
Why is it on here?:  Although they broke up shortly after the release of this album, At the Drive In still influences bands 10 years later.  Known for their rapid tempo shifts and unusual guitar rifts, these El Paso natives are as intense on stage as they sound (as you can tell by the video - assuming you actually watched it - also assuming you actually read this).  The lead singer and guitarist left the band to form The Mars Volta (also seen on this blog) so they may look or sound familiar.  I've been hearing rumors lately of a reunion tour.
