The label soon became synonymous with bands such as The Locust, !!!, and The Mars Volta.
The Fall on Deaf Ears was a musical group from El Paso most notable for featuring Cedric Bixler-Zavala of At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta, who played drums, and Clint Newsom of Rhythm of Black Lines and The Hades Kick on guitar.
Examples of singles already released in the hybrid format are Paramore's "Misery Business", The Mars Volta's cover of "Candy and a Currant Bun", and Fightstar's "Deathcar" which reportedly had a limited run of 3000 copies.
The roots of Zavalaz are found in Cedric Bixler-Zavala's solo project he started during the spare time from working on The Mars Volta's Noctourniquet: "It started off with me just having the courage to play my guitar again. My wife would listen to me play and be really encouraging".
The final lineup of The Mars Volta consisted of the two founding members Omar Rodríguez-López on guitar and production, Cedric Bixler-Zavala on vocals and lyrics, along with Juan Alderete on bass, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez on keyboards and percussion, and Deantoni Parks on drums.
