2. A British metal band active in the 1980’s
1. El Paso, TX (2001–current indefinite hiatus)
Sparta is an alternative rock/post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, formed in 2001. Founders Jim Ward (vocals/guitars), Paul Hinojos (bassist/guitarist), and Tony Hajjar (drummer) were former members of At the Drive-In.
Releases:
Threes (2006)
On March 9, 2006, by way of their official website, Sparta announced a new album, entitled Threes. The album was released on October 24, 2006. The band began headlining a tour in early October 2006 (after shows at Los Angeles’ Viper Room and Troubadour, as well as Chicago’s Lollapalooza) touring with Sound Team, Lola Ray, and As Tall As Lions at various venues throughout the United States and Canada. Two days before the release, the entire album was available for streaming on their MySpace.
Eme Nakia (2006)
In conjunction with the album Threes, Sparta is also releasing a 16-minute short film entitled “Eme Nakia”. The film, the soundtrack for which is performed by Sparta, is about drummer Tony Hajjar’s remarkable personal history, set during the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990. Hajjar fled at the age of five to the United States, settling in the sprawling west Texas border town of El Paso.

C'mon, Moochu2, why the fuck do you call TMV gaywads without any explanation? The same way I can say that Sparta are faggots, just because I was disappointed in their Wiretap Scars, but let's jude music, not people

I call them shitty not because of my disdain, but because of my dissapointment after the AMGAWESOMEORGASM cd that was Deloused

I wouldn't call it wasting 20 minutes of time. Maybe you don't like their music, but it doesn't mean they don'thave talent. So for you to call them shitty is quite ludicrous, and gaywads? C'mon what are you a 7 year old kid with no friends who compromises by calling people gaywads and referring to everything he doesn't like as shitty?

I am man enough to admit that Deloused in the Comatorium is an absolutely SICK cd, but Mars Volta went downhill fast after that.

Sparta doesn't waste 20 minutes of CD time just flailing around on their guitar like an epileptic with down's syndrome
