Biography

After guitarist Ben Einziger and stepbrother and bassist Paul Fried's band, Audiovent, broke up, they thought that their time in the professional music world was finished. They continued to play casually together, however, which gave Einziger the opportunity to try his hand at songwriting and singing for the first time, something that he took to quickly. Soon they invited singer Stephanie Eitel to join their band, called Agent Sparks, and also brought in a drummer, although he quickly left when another group offered him a paying gig. Luckily, Einziger and Fried knew a good replacement, session drummer George Purviance, a childhood friend from summer camp who was also living in Los Angeles, and invited him to join the band. Purviance accepted, and in 2005 Agent Sparks' EP, Not So Merry (produced by Einziger's brother and Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger), came out on Immortal Records. The next year saw the release of their debut full-length, Red Rover. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

Agent Sparks was a band formed in early 2005 when two former band mates from Audiovent decided they wanted to continue making music. Members include Benjamin Einziger (lead vocals, guitar), Stephanie Eitel (lead vocals, keyboard, percussion), Paul Fried (bass, vocals), and George Purviance (drums, vocals). They released their first EP entitled Not So Merry in September 2005. This EP includes song like, "It's Not My Time," "Choke," and "So Long Darlings." On June 20, 2006 they released their first full length album "Red Rover." Both their EP and full length were produced by Ben's brother and Paul's stepbrother, Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger. The band later went on to tour with bands 30 Seconds to Mars and Veruca Salt (band). Following a cross-country tour to support their full length album "Red Rover" with Hoobastank, the band decided to go their separate ways, although no specific reason was cited, although the impending marriage of Stephanie Eitel was suspected to be part of the reason .
