THE BATTALION
Music Review V 2.002
Audio Vent
Dirty Sexy Knights of
Paris
Atlantic Records
Audio Vent’s debut album on Atlantic Records
marks an important step for the band. Formerly
known as Vent, the band formed in 1993 and
recently signed with Atlantic for the release of
Dirty Sexy Knights of Paris.
Coming from the small town of Calabassas,
Calif., Audio Vent’s members formed close bonds
growing up with each other.
Audio Vents most challenging issue was over
coming its family ties to Incubus, a band also
from Calabassas. Jason Boyd (vocalist for Audio
Vent) is brother to lead singer Brandon Boyd of
Incubus, Ben Einzinger is brother to Incubus gui
tarist Mike Einzinger and bassist Paul Fried is
Einzinger’s stepbrother. Rather than use the kin
ship ties with Incubus to spread its name and gain
national attention, Audio Vent has chosen to make
it interdependently by creating a mix of punk rock
with classic rock and roll.
With the help of producer Gavin Mackillop,
Audio Vent was able to re-record and improve
many of the songs that were on their self-released
album Papa’s Dojo. Songs such as “I Can’t
Breathe” contain a mix of hard rocking guitar riffs
with a more peaceful acoustic guitar section that
mixes well with Boyd’s emotional vocals.
Explosive drum beats and heavy bass guitar riffs
are the backbone for songs like “Rain.”
Creative lyrics round off the album as Boyd
sings heavily about the paralysis and pain of
breaking up with his girlfriend. “Sweet
Frustration” and “The Energy” powerfully
explain how he won’t let himself experience that
pain again.

Sl. â– 
Wilcox, drummer for Audio Vent, give each song
a rich, full sound. Einzinger takes over on “When
1 Drown” as he provides lead vocals and plays
piano.
From the punk rock sounds of “Stalker" and
“Gravity” to the dramatic symphonic sounds of
“When 1 Drown,” success should be on the hori
zon for Audio Vent. Although Audio Vent has
been around since 1993, they are just beginnings
sneak onto the national music scene.

NEWS IN BRIEF
R&B star R.Kelly charged with 21 counts of child pornography
CHICAGO (AP) — R&B star R. Kelly was
indicted Wednesday on child pornography
charges stemming from a videotape that officials
say shows the Grammy winner having sex with
an underage girl, a source in the Cook County
State’s Attorney’s Office said.
A grand jury charged Kelly, whose first name is
Robert, with 21 counts of child pornography, said
the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The court documents were not immediately
released.
The felony charge carries a prison term of up
to 15 years and a fine of
up to $100,000.
The source said a
warrant had been issued
for Kelly’s arrest.
Lawyers for the 33-
year-old Chicago native
did not immediately
return calls to The
Associated Press. Kelly
has denied he is the
man on the tape.
