The best and most original band in the world. This band does not fall under any category of music. They are their own stuff. The music they make is so fucking crazy it makes you want to jiz your pants. After the break up of the band At the Drive-in, mars volta was born. And what a wonderful thing that was.

The absolute most kick-ass band ever to be around. Their own style of original music. Real music that is shunned by MTV pissers.

Best generic definition is nu-prog, which doesn't do them justice at all. Completely original and imaginative and unlike any of the crap pumped into the mainstream through MTV. Their two albums are about the death of the friend. Deloused in the Comatorium features the mystical journey of protagonist Cerpin Text. Their second album is in essence one track divided into suites, again about the death of their friend. Their lyrics are obscure and non-sensical yet deeply moving. Cedric Bixlar and Omar Rodriguez were previosuly members of At the Drive In. Other members are Flea and John Frusciante of Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
"Oh crap, i just came"
"just like that?"

"what those two white guys with fros?"
"yeah, fuckin' aye"

The gnarliest band to hit the music scene since 'at the drive in.' The mars volta consist of two amazing men "cedric Bixler zavala" - Vocals and "Omar Alfredo Rodriguez Lopez" - Guitar. There is a slue of other random band members that fill in the rest of the music but Cedric and Omar are the main gnarlers. Although they are considered "un-tasteful" They still kick ass and open a new genre of music. Just try to play some of the mars volta on guitar or to grow hair like theirs. The mars volta , despite what critics say, are the most talented and original band at this time.
