Wiretap Scars – 20 year Celebration Tour 
When it comes to his long and fruitful career in music, Jim Ward has no ulterior motives. He’s not guided by vanity or money or some grand narrative in which he’s the central player. It’s all about the song, the melody, the lyric. It’s all he needs to tell him where he’s headed. while he’s performed in various bands and under several monikers over his long and winding career— from the iconic post-hardcore band At The Drive-In, to a slew of solo titles under his own name and, recently, his alt-country project, Sleepercar — Ward is the first to admit that Sparta was and never has been finished. It’s why a few years back, when he began making heavier, more riff-laden music, it was a no-brainer, he says, for him to ring up his friend and bandmate of more than 20 years, bassist Matt Miller, and begin work on what evolved into Trust The River (2020).
