Brazil have often been compared to the now defunct band At the Drive-In, a comparison the band goes to great lengths to distance themselves from. A few factors play a part in the oft-cited comparison of the two bands. Namely, both bands released their formative records on Southern California record label Fearless Records, both bands recorded early records with Los Angeles producer Alex Newport, and both band’s vocalists have similar ranges. Ironically, only one member of Brazil has admitted to being a fan of the late El Paso, Texas based 5-piece[citation needed], though the other members appreciate their reputation and contribution to music in the early ‘00s. The band has often bemoaned the idea of being grouped solely with bands from the punk genre, a scenario often repeated on tours and with record labels, preferring instead to be regarded as simply a modern rock band.
A song from the Dasein EP called "It Keeps the Machine Running" samples a portion of "Sea" by solo pianist George Winston. Winston is not credited in the liner notes.

Crazy talk.

What Stone said. Relationship of Command (and even most of Deloused in the Comatorium) blew Sparta out of the water.

Fairly low expectations on this reunion.

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:44 pm

I didn't say Sparta was better or their first record was better than anything that ATDI did... I said, the song was as good....Standing by it.
