Audiovent, an American alternative rock band from Calabasas, California, formed in 1993 under the name "Vent." The group initially consisted of lead singer Jason Boyd, bassist Paul Fried, guitarist Benjamin Einziger, and drummer Jamin Wilcox. In 2001, after signing with Atlantic Records, they changed their name to Audiovent and released their debut album Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris on June 4, 2002. The album featured the singles "The Energy" and "Looking Down," which charted moderately on Billboard's Alternative Songs and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. Despite beginning work on a second album in 2003, creative differences led to the band's disbandment in mid-2004.
