Sparta Rock / Punk Pop Two Thirds of members from ashes of At The Drive In, have formed a brillaint new band entitled Sparta. So begins "Cut Your Ribbon," the lead track on "Wiretap Scars", the first full-length offering from El Paso, Texas' Sparta. Set for release Aug. 13, 2002, on DreamWorks Records, the album is both a logical extension of, and a quantum leap beyond, the ragged promise of the three-song-and-one-remix "Austere" EP, released in March of 2002. Wiretap Scars is the sound of the underdog triumphant.
