sparta hasnt split!! they're just not writing for the time being. spoke to jim at a show here in Sydney Australia, he just said he's writing sleepercar songs for now. open your mind!!
Saw them with Coldplay at MSP. Good stage presence, good opening for Coldplay. I never really noticed the Alternative Country genre before these guys. After seeing them live I picked up some songs off of eyetunes. It is good roadtrip music - reminds me of the Tragically Hip
not bad! All the musicians in At the Drive in have changed so much in their styles over the years. Kinda like most musicians i suppose. I played indie, poppunk, tech-hardcore, grime rock, electronic funk... natural evolution i suppose..
no, i meant Sleepercar played a few more songs. Coldplay played one more song, Green eyes. it was really good and he was funny about it. he was like "this is a song we have never tried to play on a tour before....its not the best coldplay song *laughs* but its not the best one.......*starts playing then about 10 secs through, laughs and stops playing* this is gonna be shit" -chris martin <3
last shot at the grog?i think jim matured into an amazing musician...so many guys grow out of screamo rock or hardcore and do nothing. West Texas is solid, and theses guys are wonerful live too.
This is some of the best music to come out of el paso. I dont know why austin is called music captial,el paso is where true musicians come from. The kind of artists that arnt in it for the money, fame, or glory. The kind that just want to spread theyre music. Thats what Jim Ward represents. That no matter how famous, or big you get, you can still get back to your roots and release an album like this. Simple, low budget, but powerful
What he did, the way he realised what he needs to do, and just leave everything behind and do this tour, leave all behind, take his own control... i dont know people but i really found myself through his freak out, i really feel how he feels.
im from georgia but my dads from new mexico and introduced me to this band... he started listening when he saw their influences included old 97's... thanks texas for some amazing music! sleepercar is the best ive come across in while
these boys are seriously stunning. saw them in toronto with city and colour and black lungs, and i have never been so impressed! hope to see them again!
