About my band "30 Seconds to Mars"
In 1998, I and my brother Shannon decided to begin a small family music project. I played guitar and sang and my brother played drums and percussion. Matt Wachter later joined us as bassist and keyboard player. But since 2007 he’s performing with Angels & Airways. After working with a number of guitarists (as the first two guitarists, Kevin Drake and Solon Bixler, left the band due to issues primarily related to touring), we have taken Tomo Miličević. That is our membership. The band's name actually comes from a thesis that we found online that was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the exponential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. What it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short. We started playing hard rock, emo, neo-progressive, progressive metal, alternative metal and post-grunge and still play something like that. We have released three studio albums – 30 Seconds to Mars (2002); A Beautiful Lie (2005); This Is War (2009) and three extended plays – AOL Sessions Undercover, A Beautiful Lie (2007) and To the Edge of the Earth (2008).
