30 Seconds To Mars Launch Tour With Incubus

© Caroline Paone

30 SECONDS TO MARS return to the road with Incubus. The four-week trek begins in Reno, Nevada on August 31, just after the August 27 release of 30 SECONDS TO MARS' Bob Ezrin-co-produced, self-titled debut album on Immortal/Virgin Records.

The tour with Incubus marks 30 SECONDS TO MARS' second concert trek this year. The buzz on the group was strong enough that Puddle of Mudd took the unusual step of inviting them to open a six-week tour for them in the spring even though 30 SECONDS TO MARS were still totally unknown, no one had yet heard their music on the radio and their album was still months away from being released.

30 SECONDS TO MARS' wide screen sound balances heavy guitars with anthemic vocal lines and organic synthesizers with electronic underpinnings. Exploding with atmosphere, power and melody, their songs are filled with characters battling with alienation, paranoia and dark obsessions, while envisioning their own escape from this world. Drawing on influences ranging from masters like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Rush to other important artists such as Brian Eno and The Cure, 30 SECONDS TO MARS transcends the chaos of the modern world by allowing listeners to imagine themselves away from it In songs such as the dynamic "Capricorn (a brand new name)," with its reference to a mysterious disappearance, and the foreboding "End Of The Beginning," with its soaring vocals and intense driving rhythm, 30 SECONDS TO MARS draws startlingly unique moods.
