Guess what?

I think that I found a current, talented rock band that not only write its own powerful lyrics, but also sends chills down the spines of anyone willing to tune their ears into their amazing music.

Going through a tough break-up? Not only will these guys allow you to rock out to its rage against ex-girlfriends, but they will also, in a weird way, calm you down through their hard rock sound.

I’m raving about Audiovent, which is half-blood related to the band Incubus (no wonder why they’re so good!). Lead vocalist Jason Boyd (brother of lead vocalist Brandon Boyd of Incubus), guitarist Benjamin Einziger (brother of guitarist Mike Einziger of Incubus), bassist Paul Fried, and drummer Jamin Wilcox have beautifully and successfully managed to translate its bitter feelings of heart break and relationship break-ups into an immaculate combination of loud and soft rock music that literally blows my mind every single time I tune in.

The boys are natives of Calabasas, Calif., and have been making music together for nearly a decade. Its debut album, “Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris” was quietly released by Atlantic Records on June 4 of last year. There really wasn’t much hype on the band until its amazing hit single, “The Energy,” was played on select rock radio stations. This song not only perfectly summed up the anger and frustration of being hurt over by a devious female, but it’s also an anthem of never, ever letting a woman get the better of you.

Now, let me ask you this. What kind of emotions are the best for creating good music?

Audiovent does a flawless job of proving that emotions of anger, frustration, heartbreak, and regret are the perfect ingredients to an incredible and unforgettable album.

Let’s look at No Doubt and Alanis Morrissette for example. No Doubt’s breakthrough album, “Tragic Kingdom,” was such an amazing success due to lead vocalist’s Gwen Stefani’s harsh break-up with bassist Tony Kanal. Hit singles such as “I’m Just a Girl” and “Don’t Speak” shot No Doubt to the top of the charts – and these were two songs that were directly related to Stefani’s broken heart.

Nothing beats Alanis Morrissette’s debut album, “Jagged Little Pill,” which is obviously the result of Morrissette’s several broken relationships that not only ended in immense heartbreak, but also intense rage and anger over being used and cheated on. This is definitely proof that negative emotions translate into incredible, breakthrough music.

What’s nice about Audiovent’s debut album is that it’s directed towards the dudes and not the women. Many break-up albums are from a female’s point of view and not a man’s. Even though I’m a chick, it doesn’t mean that I can’t understand or appreciate Audiovent’s lyrics and music – in fact, it allows me to take a trip into the male psyche and realize that women aren’t the only ones who get hurt.

So yeah, maybe rock music isn’t so bad, and Audiovent is definitely doing a great job of taking early rock influences of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and intense emotions to guide rock in the right direction, for once. Thanks guys.
