At the Drive-In

This hardcore band’s 2000 album, Relationship of Command, was a perfect punk document for the Bush era, winning unlikely mainstream fame until a surprising breakup a year later. In December, the reunited group released its first song in 16 years, “Governed by Contagions,” which confronts a similar political moment and proves that frontmen Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala can still swing their Afros as if the fate of the world depends on it.
