Информация о артисте
После распада команды «At The Drive-In», в марте 2001 года, двое ее участников Cedric Bixler и Omar Rodriguez сформировали проект «The Mars Volta», а остальные, в лице: Jim Ward (вокал, гитара), Paul Hinojos (гитара) и Tony Hajjar (барабаны), приступили к работе под вывеской «Sparta». Спустя несколько месяцев, в состав группы влился басист Matt Miller.
В течении года, строящая свои произведения на элементах emo и punk rock музыки, команда «Sparta» заимела контракт с лэйблом «Dreamworks». В марте 2002 года, музыканты выпустили первый ЕР «Austere» и спустя пять месяцев, представили, продюсированный и сведенный Jerry Finn, дебютный альбом «Wiretap Scars». Запись материала для дебютного лонгплэя проходила в период с января по март 2002 года, на студии «Armoury Studios», в Ванкувере.
Очередной альбом «Porcelain», был выпущен в 2005 году через лэйбл «Geffen Records». Продюсированием альбома занимался Mike Major, а его сведением небезызвестный Andy Wallace, известный по работе с «Limp Bizkit», «System Of A Down», «Linkin Park» и прочими знаменитостями современной метал сцены.
В начале марта 2006 года группа «Sparta», посредством своего веб-сайта, анонсировала выпуск нового альбома. Пластинка «Threes» была издана 24 октября, в поддержку которой музыканты совершили тур в компании с «Sound Team», «Lola Ray» и «As Tall As Lions». Read more on Last.fm.

There are at least two bands by the name of Sparta.
1. An American alternative rock band active in the 2000s
2. A British metal band active in the 1980s
1. Sparta is an alternative rock band which formed in El Paso, Texas in 2001. The band originally consisted of Jim Ward (vocals), Paul Hinojos (guitar) and Tony Hajjar (drums), all former members of At the Drive-In. After a brief stint with Erick Sanger, the three of them recruited Matt Miller, an El Paso native and then-bassist of Belknap to become the band's permanent bassist.
Sparta got a deal with Dreamworks in 2001 and released their debut EP Austere in early 2002. They released their debut full-length album Wiretap Scars on August 13, 2002. The album is mostly influenced by their previous work with At the Drive-In, which is a contrast from The Mars Volta, formed by the other two ex-members of ATD-I, which departs entirely from post-hardcore and instead focuses on progressive rock or psychedelic rock. This album is also a lot cleaner and more accessible than At the Drive-In's experimentation.
On May 25, 2003, Ward's cousin Jeremy, the sound manipulator for The Mars Volta, died of a heroin overdose. Hinojos would leave Sparta in 2005 to join TMV as their secondary guitarist and filling in Jeremy Ward's position as sound manipulator. He was replaced by Keeley Davis.
Sparta's second full-length album Porcelain was released July 13, 2004 and peaked at #60 on the Billboard 200. The first single released from the album was "Breaking the Broken," for which a music video was recorded that received much airplay.
In January 2006, they announced that they had signed a deal with Hollywood Records, which will release their third album Threes on October 24, 2006. The album peaked at #83 on the Billboard 200. It's the first album with guitarist Keeley Davis and its debut single was "Taking Back Control."
In June 2008, Ward stated that Sparta is on hiatus and without a label; he would focus instead on his alternative country band, Sleepercar, which released its debut album West Texas on April 22, 2008. Three years later, on August 3, 2011, Ward stated that Sparta is back in action and will play their first show in November in El Paso. They're performing on November 17 at Tricky Falls, the newly renovated venue co-owned by Ward. The band will also be back in the studio in the fall to start working on their fourth album.
2. Sparta was also a NWOBHM band from Mansfield. They formed in 1980, and released two singles, plus participated on a five way split album before they split up. Hades Records released a compilation on vinyl in 2006. This compilation contained all their previously released songs, plus a few more. Read more on Last.fm.
