AS Project - 30 SECONDS TO MARS

My AS project is focused around the band 30 Seconds To Mars, who have been around for many years yet have only come to light to most fan quite recently.
I have chosen to do this because i am a huge fan and would like to show my dedication to the band but also because i am planning on doing art work that is up to date and would target modern society with it's up to date technology.

The band is built up of three members - Jared Leto - lead singer, guitarist, key board;  Shannon Leto - Drums, backing vocals and Tomislav Miličević aka Tomo, lead guitarist, backing vocals.

                                                           History of the band

Founded in 1998 by Jared Leto's brother Shannon Leto, 30 Seconds to Mars began as a small family project. Matt Wachter later joined the band as bassist and keyboard player. After working with a number of guitarists (as the band's first two guitarists, Kevin Drake and Solon Bixler, left the band due to issues primarily related to touring), the three auditioned Tomo Milicevic to round out the band's roster.
Jared Leto said the following in an interview regarding the name of the band: "For us, the name 30 Seconds To Mars has little to do with space, the universe or anything like that. It is a name that works on several different levels. Most importantly, it is a good representation of our sound. It's a phrase that is lyrical, suggestive, cinematic, and filled with immediacy. It has some sense of otherness to it. The concept of space is so overwhelming and all encompassing I doubt there is a song written that doesn't fall within it."
Shannon Leto said the following in an interview regarding the name of the band: "It represents a lot of things. This professor had a thesis. It was talking about where technology was going; the evolution of man and how that plays a role. A sub-category was 30 Seconds To Mars. It was like the expediential growth of humans. We are literally 30 seconds away from Mars. Everything is right here and right now; everything is just so crazy and fast."
According to an interview from Virgin Records, former member Matt Wachter said: The name 30 Seconds To Mars actually comes from a thesis that the band found online that was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the exponential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. What it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short.
Even though Jared Leto is a Hollywood actor, he prefers not to use this position to promote the band; in fact, he refuses to play at venues if they have used his name to promote the band.
