SPARTA formed from the ashes of seminal rockers AT THE DRIVE-IN who disbanded in 2001. Released in 2002 to huge praise from postpunk and hardcore audiences, their debut album ‘Wiretap Scars’ filled the gap left by their former group and won over the harshest critics. The album features the single Cut Your Ribbon and epic live favourites Air and Collapse.
The album served as a reminder of how important Jim Ward’s backing vocals were to the sound of At the Drive-In. Previously known as a side man, SPARTA gave him the kudos to bring his voice and ideas to the fore – creating incredible records like ‘Wiretap Scars’.
