Rock's Best-Kept Secret
30 Seconds To Mars released their second record, A Beautiful Lie, through Virgin Records on August 30, 2005 to critical acclaim. Alternative Press Magazine wrote, "After soldiering through adversity and slaughtering the sophomore slump, they just might be rock's best-kept secret. He [Jared Leto] sings with a range and ease that makes cathedrals jealous."

Revolver Magazine said, "His intensity and passion clearly inform the textural hard rock of A Beautiful Lie. Like the band's 2002 self-titled debut, the album boasts echoing riffs, moody bass lines, and strong vocal melodies that evoke a radio-friendly mix of Nine Inch Nails, U2, and the Cure." Metal Edge Magazine named A Beautiful Lie one of the best CDs of 2005.

Continuing to tour through the end of 2006, 30 Seconds To Mars recently completed their first ever headlining tour which sold out across the country. They also played Bamboozle, Lollapalooza, and had a stint on The Warped Tour. For more information on 30 Seconds to Mars please visit www.thirtysecondstomars.com.
