¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! (EP)

¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! is the second EP by At the Drive-In, released in 1995. The title takes its name from the Eloy Alfaro Popular Armed Forces, a clandestine left-wing group in Ecuador. The EP has been described as having a more darker tone than their inaugural release, Hell Paso, while also having more developed lyrical depth by lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Plastic Memories is omitted from the vinyl release of the EP, and was later re-recorded and released on the El Gran Orgo EP as Picket Fence Cartel. The back-up vocals on Ludvico Drive-In were done by Laura Beard and Sarah Reiser, who were friends with Bixler-Zavala and were also fellow band members in the short lived group The Fall on Deaf Ears. The two girls died in a car wreck two years later. This is the last CD to feature Jarrett Wrenn and Kenny Hopper who went on to create Crime in Choir.
