Artist description
AGR has been able to successfully blend their diverse bodies of musical knowledge to form a focused, distinct and coherent sound unlike anything else on the today's music scene. Their unique mix of avant-garde jazz, fast rhythm changes, hard rock, and soft love ballads is only enhanced by their vocal blend. From Jones' uncontrolled screams, to Winn's raspy singing, to Myers' smooth, soulful harmonies, Agents of Good Roots offer one of the most complimentary mixes of vocalizations in contemporary rock music. |

Artist History
Since 1995, the band has released several albums and played to audiences nationwide. In 1997, Agents hit the road nationally for the first time, then headed directly to the studio to record their 1998 RCA Records release, One By One. Since then, the band has continued to tour the country and, in October 1999, they released a live EP called Seed.The Agents' latest studio album - Needle and Thread, recorded throughout 1999, may offer the best recorded example to date of the Agents' unique sound, as it displays every bit of the live energy the band is known for, without falling prey to the overproduction and clichés of most pop albums.After only five years, Agents of Good Roots is a young band with a long history. Where there was once a band uncertain of its future, anxious about its possibilities, there is now a determined, supremely talented quartet with some serious chops. |
