30 Seconds To Mars.

Okay, so you know when you get that heart-felt feeling of love when you get inspired by music? Well, that feeling occurred to me once I first heard 30 Seconds To Mars on MTV Rocks one Tuesday night. (I know, I'm that sad to remember what day it actually was..) Not only do they produce such emotional and unforgettable music, but they really do know how to put on an amazing show. I hadn't heard of this band before listening to my now favorite song 'Kings & Queens' on MTV Rocks, but after that, I can't stop listening to them. I've bought their album and everything. 

Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo are now known for their unfathomable performances onstage and their brilliant songwriting skills from 30 Seconds To Mars. Jared (The Lead Singer) can be known as wild, as he colours his hair a lot before performing on tour, and his unforgettable voice reaching every high note possible in each of their songs. Shannon Leto and Jared are brothers which made it much easier for them both to create a band, and considering Shannon completed his Grade 8 drumming and Jared on his guitar, they only needed a lead guitar and keyboard player, and that's how Tomo got involved into this band. All three have amazing personalities with a sense of humor too which makes it so much easier to get along and fall in love with these babes while watching their tour videos on YouTube. Tomo can be known as quite a quiet member of the band; considering he's so concerned and connected to the music. And Jared too is equally connected to the music, as he sings his heart out to every performance, giving the crowd a memorable vocally performance. And Shannon plays his percussion & drums amazingly, leaving goosebumps on your arms if you really listen to the music.

So, how many albums have 30 Seconds To Mars produced? Well, three albums altogether, the first was simply called '30 Seconds to Mars' released in 2002, which included the famous tracks 'Edge of the Earth' and 'Capricorn: (A Brand New Name)' and then in 2005 came 'A Beautiful Lie,' one of the most listened albums in America at the time. And finally, released just four years ago, was 'This Is War,' the only album I own from 30 Seconds To Mars (yet!). In this album included the famous track, the track that I fell in love with, 'Kings & Queens,' which I do recommend anyone to listen to. And if you get as emotional as I do with music, you'd cry and have goosebumps all over your body..like I did. I know, you guys must think I'm such a baby. ;-) 'Closer To The Edge' is also my favorite track of all time, considering the video included such emotional teenagers, singing about how their never noticed for their music, but their looks, which I can really attach to. 'Vox Populi' and 'Search & Destroy' are also two great tracks in this album, and I really do hope these three amazing guys continue to produce music such as this. 

 30 Seconds To Mars are a progressive rock and alternative group, which are two of my best genres, including punk, and if you love these genres, a soft rock ballad with emotional lyrics & amazing music filling your ears, then I'd totally recommend you listening to these babes. :-) You seriously won't regret it, unless you're more of a punk person, then maybe not. Okay, maybe I should shut up now and go back to listen to my playlist - 'the best bands ever.' (Which include YOU ME AT SIX, My Chemical Romance, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi & of course, 30 Seconds To Mars!) But if you do have some spare time one boring day, when it's raining or when you've got nothing good on your list to do, have a look on youtube at one of their videos, and trust me, I know I say this all the time, but they are truly amazing. ;D
