Single: 30 Seconds To Mars - Attack

Single: 30 Seconds To Mars - Attack

30 Seconds To Mars are a light weight US alternative rock group formed by an actor called Jared Leto whom I've never heard of but who seems to be popular with panda-eyed teenage girls with itchy fannies.

Musically, Attack is the sort of electronic-tinged guitar rocker that is the mainstay of most bands like 30 Seconds To Mars. There's a later day Incubus feel to the whole thing, along with a dash of Lost Prophets, maybe even a smidgeon of Placebo. Lyrically it's the usual angst-ridden gumph that gets wrist-slashers misty-eyed but all in all it's a competent modern rock single that rocks but fails to ignite into anything special.

I've been unable to get this out of my head for months. Always a sucker for a good hook.

He’s a hell of an actor, that Leto bloke. Maybe he should stick with the day job?

He was in 'Requiem For A Dream' and 'American Psycho' amongst other things, hilariously he plays Mark Chapman in an upcoming movie.

Thats the same for me, years ago no-one had heard of them, even now when i say the name alot of people are like, "Who?" but I'm glad they are finally getting some press over here. I remember back in 2004 I made a poor animation and put it on here, although i'd been listening to them for quite some time before that,

But yeah, that is also a great album 'Edge of the earth', what a song
