Jim Ward, who made a name for himself fronting both At The Drive In and Sparta has announced an Australian tour in support of his debut solo album, ‘Quiet In The Valley, On The Shores The End Begins.’
In the decade since At The Drive In split, Ward has been touring the world with Sparta, a band he formed with his former ATDI band mates Tony Hajjar and Paul Hinojos. They put the band on ice in 2008 and since then Ward has been releasing a steady slew of solo EPs, but now the full record is coming.
Seeming a million miles away from his musical life a decade ago, Ward has been on the road in support of Coldplay and more recently reigned in the vocal talents of Tegan and Sara’s Tegan Quinn for his lead single ‘Broken Songs’.
The album was recorded in his own studio in El Paso, Texas.
