Agency-V are a dynamic synthrock trio from the United Kingdom that have just released “Never Meant To Be,” their debut for the Distortion Productions label. This new album compiles all of their previous material with some extra goodies thrown in, like bonus remixes and a cover of Garbage’s “Stupid Girl.” Known for infusing dark overtones with powerful blends of electronic and rock music, the band consists of Marie Williamson (vocals), Lloyd Price (synths, programming), and Peter Steer (guitars). Their collective influences range from the pioneering sounds of Gary Numan to the energetic beats of Kraftwerk, which are evident in their intricate synth lines and compelling lyrics. Agency-V was forged during the UK lockdown when the trio produced their debut EP, “No Divide”, which was released in 2020. Their music often explores dark, introspective themes, as delivered in the lyrics of the more recent 2024 single “We Can Erase You,” which delves into the topic of accountability and retribution. With 2024 being witness to many live performances all over the UK, Agency-V also unveiled their most recent EP “Pray For The Sun”. Hot on the heels of supporting Gary Numan in England, Agency-V’s new album, “Never Meant To Be”, was released today by Distortion Productions on all digital and streaming platforms along with a limited-edition Compact Disc.
