Sparta

When seminal post-hardcore band At the Drive-In called it quits one camp went on to form the high-concept prog act Mars Volta, while the other members--consisting of Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos, and Tony Hajjar--formed the more tradionally-minded hardcore punk ensmeble Sparta. Though the band would lose Hinojos to the Mars Volta, Sparta went on to become succesful mainstays of the melodic, musically complex subgenre of hardcore variously known as screamo, emo, and melodic hardcore. The band released its third full-length, THREES, in 2006.
