Originally formed in 2001 by former At the Drive-In members Jim Ward and Matt Miller, Sparta carved out a space in the alt-rock scene with their emotionally intense brand of punchy guitar-forward rock. After reuniting in 2017, the band has released two full-length albums, 2020's Trust the River and a self-titled LP that arrived in October of 2022. A frequent Taylor collaborator, guitarist Jim Ward joined us in the studio for a solo rendition of the new Sparta single, "Mind Over Matter," which you can find on streaming services everywhere.
