the mars volta

"The Mars Volta is an American musical group founded by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. They are generally considered rock, with heavy punk, prog and Latin influences. They are known for their wild live shows, oblique lyrics and heavy reliance on ambient music to establish mood."

this is my favourite band at the moment. i have been listening to their cd heavily at work. it is such a great mix of different sounds. i would say you could call this group a very modern day led zepplin. if you have a chance to listen to these guys, DO IT! i cant even imagine what their live shows would be like
