30 Seconds to Mars hits success with evolved sound Shannon Leto, drummer for the L.A.-based band 30 Seconds to Mars, recalls the passion he and his brother Jared Leto shared for music as they were growing up. Though the band, now comprised of the Leto brothers and lead guitarist Tomislav Milicevic (aka Tomo), has been signed by a record label since 1998, released three successful studio albums and won many music awards in its tenure, Shannon still recalls his humble beginnings. "I have a picture of [my brother and me] when we were young, Jared banging on a guitar," Shannon said in a telephone interview from Osaka, Japan, where they had just finished a show. "It really started when we were young. It just made sense when we started focusing on it." Currently on tour, the band is getting ready for its Honolulu concert at the Waterfront at Aloha Tower on Sept. 29, which Shannon promises will be "energetic, chaotic, spontaneous and fantastic." Having traveled to Hawai‘i a few times before, Shannon is not only looking forward to the performance but also an opportunity for relaxation. "I love the islands and the feel of the islands," he said. "I love the fact that I will have a couple of days to chill up at the North Shore." Though 30 Seconds to Mars gained a modest fan base with the release of its self-titled first studio album in 2002, the band didn't quite hit their stride until the release of their platinum-selling sophomore album "A Beautiful Lie" in 2005, which led to multiple T.V. appearances and built the ground for successful tours in the future. Known for their progressive rock/metal and post-grunge sound, Leto maintains that the genre of their music is up to the listener's ears. "I think Andy Warhol said it best when he said labels are for cans," Shannon said. "It's up to each individual's interpretation." The band's loyal fans don't seem to mind the ambiguity, and instead, embrace it. The 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards recognized 30 Seconds to Mars with a nomination for "Biggest Fans" – pitting them against the ravenous preteen (and predominantly female) following of Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga's devoted army of "little monsters." "They're like our family," Shannon said, describing his fans. "They're committed, loyal, creative and inspiring. We are all part of the same train ride." When asked about the feeling he gets when he performs on stage in front of thousands of fans, Shannon can't help but describe it as a "mutually shared experience." "There's nothing quite like it," he said. And although 30 Seconds to Mars has found their niche in the music industry, the band acknowledges that they will have to evolve their sound in order to keep up with the industry's imminent changes. "We refuse to be stuck in one way," Shannon said. "We wouldn't be allowed to express ourselves and that's not really for us. We try to keep an open mind and think outside the box." With three million records sold worldwide, over 100 million video views on Youtube, and nearly 500 sold-out shows around the globe since 2005, perhaps the band's success is credited to their adaptability. But Shannon also maintains that hard work is an important component for bands hoping to make it to the "big time." "Work hard, work hard and work hard," he said. "Stick to what you believe in and follow your heart. Just never, ever quit."
