In this conversation with guitarist Jim Ward, we explore a range of topics. These include the origins of the songs on Wiretap Scars during his time with At the Drive-In, his memories of At the Drive-In’s performance at the Big Day Out festival in 2001, and the shared fanbase between At the Drive-In and Sparta. Additionally, we delve into Jim’s artistic evolution transitioning from At The Drive-In to Sparta, the factors influencing his songwriting and lyrical themes, his musical influences, the challenges inherent in sustaining a music career, and his ongoing projects and future directions in his musical journey.
