Distortion is so very delighted to announce the signing of Agency-V from the U.K. Having worked with band member Peter Steer on past projects, label owner Jim Semonik comments, “It’s a no brainer. I knew the second I heard the first song, that this band was something special”. Having recently signed U.K. act Inertia, Agency-V is another innovative act from overseas joining Distortion’s vastly diverse roster.
Bio:
Agency-V is a dynamic synthrock trio from the UK, 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). Each member has a unique musical background and a shared passion for creating evocative, genre-blending music.
Marie, Lloyd, and Peter have been active in the UK electronic scene for years, crossing paths at various points before officially forming Agency-V. 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.
Coming together during the UK lockdown the trio produced their debut EP, "No Divide" which was released in 2020. This EP showcased their ability to merge melodic rock with pulsating electronic elements, earning them a dedicated following. 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”.
Having been well received by DJ’s and followers the EP earned the trio a glowing review in the electronic music magazine ‘Blitzed’. Now with 3 EP’s, 3 singles and multiple live performances under their belts they go from strength to strength. Agency-V are now working on new material and planning a year of live shows for 2025.
