STOP START ADDS ‘AT THE DRIVE IN’ TO ITS INTERNATIONAL CATALOGUE AND RELEASES LIMITED EDITION RE-ISSUES EXCLUSIVE TO AUSTRALIA

It is with much excitement and pleasure that Stop Start announce the arrival of two very important additions to its catalogue - At The Drive-In’s debut album “Acrobatic Tenement” and their final studio album to date “Relationship Of Command”.

At The Drive-In was founded in 1993 by guitarist Jim Ward and lead vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala and their debut album “Acrobatic Tenement” was a culmination of three years of touring throughout the United States Of America.  “Acrobatic Tenement”, the band’s first full length studio album was released in July 1996 and was made for a mere $600, but marks the beginning of not only the bands career, but multiple off shoots as well.
“Relationship of Command” was released at the turn of the decade and has become the benchmark album for many aspiring rock or hard-core punk band.  It also marked the beginning of the bands international career and took “the already famed live show” global with tours of Europe and Japan. 
Their first and only Australian tour came shortly afterwards, playing East Coast shows at the Big Day Out festival and two headlining side shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Aside from walking off stage at the Sydney Big Day Out, citing fears for the crowds safety due to moshing, and just five weeks later announcing an extended hiatus for the band (lasting over 10 years), the album still went on to sell over 40,00 units surpassing Gold status in this market.

In January of 2012, the band confirmed their reunion and announced their celebrated comeback with two stellar sets at this year’s Coachella Festival.  At The Drive-In soon after were recently announced for a one off show at this year’s already sold-out ‘Splendour In The Grass’ festival – the band’s first and only show in Australia for over 11 years.

To celebrate the bands return from extended hiatus, their seminal album “Relationship of Command” will be re-released with limited edition bonus tracks featuring over 15 minutes of previously unavailable live material.

This material is exclusive to the Australian re-issue recorded by triple j for ‘Live At The Wireless’ during their last Australian tour, back in January 2001.

“Acrobatic Tenement” and “Relationship Of Command” will both be re-released on
Friday 1st June 2012
