THE MARS VOLTA

I am so happy that I have to share it with you:
The Mars Volta will be on tour this summer!! Yeah baby!

For those who don’t know this great band:
The Mars Volta is an American progressive rock band formed in 2001 by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, after their previous band, At The Drive In, split up.

 

The Mars Volta is one of the most talented and creative bands of its generation.
Their music is a large mix between punk, psychedelic rock, alternative, jazz and Latin influence, using a polyrhythm technique, which offers them an original, incredible and unpredictable wild sound.

Despite the music that I found absolutely awesome, I also love the band for the genius singer, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who has, I think, one of the most beautiful voice and whose lyrics are just mind-blowing!

The band has already (officially) released four albums:
- De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003)
- Frances the Mute (2005)
- Amputechture (2006)
- The Bedlam in Goliath (2007/2008)

The new album will be released soon!
