About 5 years ago our friend Nick recommended the band Sparta to me. I bought their album Wiretap Scars; listened to it, liked it, but never took it beyond that. I always really liked the album, but didn’t play it all that regularly.
I absolutely love to play my ipod on “shuffle” and just let it randomly pick the songs. Its such a great way to hear all your music, and I get kind of excited to hear whats coming on next. Every single time Sparta plays I get that naggy feeling of “why don’t I listen to these guys more?” So I did. Even better, I found out that they have three other albums I didn’t know about. I’m really looking forward to checking them out more.
I’m pretty sure Rich Taylor is a fan, how about you Scary Larry? Anyone else? Hope you likeee.

Sparta is great and I get the same thought “why don’t I listen to them more”
Sparta is a band I keep coming back to. Kind of like the band they broke away from: At the Drive-in. I guess I kind of have a love/hate relationship with hardcore. Although, I like Sparta much better. They remind me of a more melodic Thursday. “Taking Back Control” is one of my favorite songs and is a mainstay on my iPod for when I run.
Now here are some bands I’m still iffy about: White Lies and Faunts. They’re not bad, I guess I’m just not blown away. I guess I’ll just have to come back to them. I haven’t found a band that really wows me since Mew. I’ve been listening to more Pendulum lately. They kind of remind me of a lighter KMFDM.
