The legendary Sparta has signed to Equal Vision Records and will release their new album Cut A Silhouette on May 29 via Equal Vision Records and Dine Alone Records. The El Paso, TX-based band’s newest single and music video for “Crater” — which was co-written with Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance, L.S. Dunes) — is out now: Sparta – Crater (Official Music Video)
Produced, engineered and recorded at Magpie Cage Recording Studio by the iconic J. Robbins,
Cut A Silhouette is a collision of past and present. It builds off Sparta’s legacy but equally continues the evolution of a band that has never rested on its laurels. Written in hotel rooms, practice spaces, studios and soundchecks over the course of a year, Cut A Silhouette reveals frontman Jim Ward’s rediscovery of his love for music.
“This is a love record,” shares Ward. “I want it to leave an impression, and at this point in my career, that’s what I yearn for. I’m working so hard to make something meaningful to me, and I really want people to get a chance to feel it as well.”
Sparta features Jim Ward, Matt Miller and Neil Hennessy. Upcoming performances include dates supporting Jimmy Eat World, tour dates with The Toadies, festival appearances and more.
