Considering singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala's impressive track record, it shouldn't be difficult for him to build an audience with his latest project, Zavalaz, even though it sounds so different from his previous bands, At the Drive-In (post-hardcore) and Mars Volta (prog-metal).
"This is really my first real effort into songwriting," Bixler-Zavala says. "I wasn't really encouraged or allowed in my past incarnation. It's really liberating."
The current lineup includes Mars Volta bassist Juan Alderete de la Pena, Them Hill's guitarist Dan Elkan and Megapuss drummer Greg Rogove.
