At The Drive-In will not reunite after all.

Former vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez told clashmusic.com that rumours of an At The Drive-In reunion are "not true," despite Bixler-Zavala's comments that At The Drive-In were "making amends" and he "wouldn't mind it" if the band got back together.

"I think we're smart enough to never say never, as a lot relies on how you can change over a lifetime, but would you wear your old t-shirt and pants that were your favourites when you were 17?" Rodriguez-Lopez said.

Rodriguez-Lopez then said though At The Drive-In had been offered millions of dollars to reform, they hadn't accepted a single offer, and Bixler-Zavala reiterated the only piece of news from last week was that "we've buried the hatchet [with our ex-bandmates], so that's all that matters."

Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez's other band, The Mars Volta, will release their fifth album, Octahedron, on June 23. They'll support it here:
