Audiovent
Band Calabasas United States Formed 1993
Audiovent formed in 1993 in Calabasas, United States. Audiovent has 6 chart appearances on 5 radio countdowns from 5 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “The Energy”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #37. The station that charted Audiovent most often is WCCC The Rock (Hartford, CT), with 2 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2002.
Audiovent came out of Calabasas, California, where they started in 1993 under the plainer name Vent: Jason Boyd singing, Benjamin Einziger on guitar and Paul Fried on bass. When Atlantic Records signed them in 2001 they bolted "Audio" onto the front, and in 2002 they delivered Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris, their one and only major-label album.
It's a slab of polished, muscle-bound alternative rock, the kind built for the modern-rock dial: chugging guitars, big-lunged choruses and a singer who never met a hook he didn't want to shout. "The Energy" and "Looking Down" went out to rock radio and did respectable business there.
The follow-up never made it past the demo stage. They worked up more than 19 songs through 2003, but creative differences split the band in the middle of 2004 before any of it was properly recorded. A few reunion shows in 2017 rekindled things, they started writing and recording again in 2022, and a new single, "Sleepless Machine", surfaced late in 2023.
