The Profile

30 Seconds to Mars is an American rock band formed in 1998 by brothers Jared Leto (vocals, guitar) and Shannon Leto (drums).

Publicly known: the band formed in 1998 and is fronted by Jared Leto with Shannon Leto on drums. The group has released albums including 30 Seconds to Mars, A Beautiful Lie, This Is War, and Love Lust Faith + Dreams.

Across 12 reviews, 30 Seconds to Mars get praised for big melodies, atmospheric “space” vibes on the debut, and Jared Leto’s vocal range—while also getting slammed for repetition, overproduction, and theatrical delivery (especially on A Beautiful Lie). This Is War is often described as catchy and powerful, with emphasis on crowd participation and pop/electronic elements. Love Lust Faith + Dreams is framed as an ambitious concept album, though some call out weak live performances. Live reports are uneven: energy and promise, but technical issues and vocal slips are noted.
