Jim Ward
For a brief but exciting period from the mid-’90s to the early aughts, El Paso’s At The Drive In charted a unique and blistering path for Texas rock bands in particular and all of post-hardcore more specifically. Any band that now employs both a singer and a screamer owes some debt to the seminal band, and especially to its 2000 swan song, Relationship of Command. When the band dissolved, guitarist Jim Ward formed Sparta, and more recently he has explored a more folksy direction with recordings under his own name. His newest release is actually a collection of three acoustic EPs with an extra disc of electric versions.
