“My hatred of prog rock and it’s mushroom munching, Hobbit-loving fans”

I’d love to force this writer, Rory O’Keeffe, to attend Nearfest, just out of spite, with comments like that..That write-up, while intriguing, reeks of the attittude hordes of snobs (and Hipsters) who pine for the return of At the Drive-In.

“The best American Rock Band to come out of the second half of the 1990s”  ? well, not really.

They were good and can be applauded for ambition, but there are other bands that at least formed and recorded their earliest music then that I still would take easily over AtDI. How about dredg, for one.
