In this conversation with guitarist Jim Ward, we explore a range of topics. These include the origins of the songs on Wiretap Scars during his time with At the Drive-In, his memories of At the Drive-In's performance at the Big Day Out festival in 2001, and the shared fanbase between At the Drive-In and Sparta.
