Ok, I hope I don't piss everyone on this MODEST MOUSE mailing list off but I
just want to say that I don't think ATDI is so special. At the Drive-In was
supose to go on tour with the Beaste Boys and Rage. You don't get much more
main stream than that. They don't seem like an indie rock band. They seem
like a band who signed to a good lable and are now going to make it big. And
yes they do sound like a lot of the stuff on the radio and everyone would
like them if they got a chance to hear them. They have all the key Main
Stream elements. Heavey guitar, screaming vocal, high energy and a crazy
live show. Sound like anyone you know....Korn, Limp Bizket, Rage. Basicly
these guys were'nt made to stay small, they've got the big time writen all
over them. Don't get me wrong now. I like their music. I'm just saying with
the Heavey Hardcore trend going on right now don't expect these guys NOT to
get any attention.
