A long time ago, there was At The Drive-In. In 2000, they suddenly split. The aftermath resulted in two bands:
The Mars Volta and Sparta.
In my opinion Sparta are pretty damn good, but as are the Mars Volta. They're both very talented bands, and are of two completely differnt styles.
Their debut album, Wiretap Scars, and follow up, Porcelain are both beauties. Very solid rock. Also they put on a good show, so you're gonna have an awesome time, Colin. See you in the mustache.
