One of the most magnetic traits about 30 Seconds to Mars is their lack of concern about chasing trends. Despite millions of records sold and an ever increasing fan base, the trio seems more committed than ever to the artistic vision that originally compelled the members to form a band.

“We are very committed to touring behind [“This is War”] and it feels very much alive,” says drummer Shannon Leto, who co-founded the band with his brother Jared. “It’s seems like there’s so much we haven’t done in production, live performance.”
