Number 3

3. The Mars Volta/At The Drive-In


For those unaware, these two bands basically are one. Well... they share members anyway. Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Oman Rodriguez-Lopez were in both bands. Paul Hinojos also played in Sparta, which was another spinoff of At The Drive-In. (There are more bands here, like De Facto, but I don't know very much about that.)

So, At The Drive-In was fun. If you don't remember them, they were the band that performed "One Armed Scissor".

The Mars Volta is more fun. Not only do they rock, but they have a certain Latin sound that really, REALLY makes you move your feet. They're Prog-Rock (which by default is my favorite genre of music) and some songs are in Spanish! (Fun, right?)

Anyway, do your research and enjoy.
