[Update: Jim Ward tells Buzzgrinder a reunion isn't in the cards for him.]

Call it the latest in a long-line of inevitable reunions — At The Drive-In may be satiating my wish to get back together, reports ChartAttack.com:

Former At The Drive-In frontman and current Mars Volta singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala hinted that an ATDI reunion may be his next on his agenda in a recent interview with Drowned In Sound.

“We’ve been making amends with a lot of the members and giving some really good talks with them,” said Bixler-Zavala. “I wouldn’t mind it.”

At least that’s the philosophy presumably followed by Metal Bastard, who decided to post four tracks from At the Drive-In’s revolutionary Relationship of Command this afternoon (yeah, I said “revolutionary.” You got a problem? Let’s go.).

While I highly disagree with his categorization of the band (“emocore”???), I highly agree with this statement: “Not long after the release they split up and Cedric (vocals) and Omar (guitars) formed the masterful Mars Volta, while the other three created Sparta, the musical equivalent of narcolepsy. Avoid the latter at all costs.” Touche.

Enjoy “Cosmonaut” below, and click on over to Metal Bastard for 3 more.

At the Drive In – “Cosmonaut”

A recent post over at The Syndicate Blog about Paramore covering At the Drive In’s “One Armed Scissor” reminded us just how much ass the El Paso, TX band kicked before they called it quits and their members went onto such other projects as the Suck Volta (first album excluded — that one was awesome) and Spartsuck. Check out this video The Syndicate posted of ATDI performing “One Armed Scissor” on the Letterman show… holy fucking shit, so much energy. Wish I could go back in time and see this band live.
