Jim Ward- Quiet

Published by at 11:46 pm under MP3's

 

Now that Sparta is on hiatus, I guess the only thing Jim Ward could do was write a solo acoustic EP. In case you’re unfamiliar with him, Jim Ward (nope, no relation to M. Ward) was the singer/guitarist for both Sparta and At The Drive-In. Though Sparta’s music was more rooted alternative rock and post-hardcore, Ward’s solo EP Quiet is full of simplistic, folk-based acoustic pop songs, a la fellow post-hardcore frontman-turned-acoustic artist Dustin Kensrue. I am personally a huge fan of Ward’s voice in Sparta and his emotional croons work just as well over acoustic. Check out the tracks and pick up Quiet if you have a chance.
