Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris (Atlantic)
This SoCal foursome draws inspiration from sunny '60s melodies, but its riff-heavy debut owes as much to Alice in Chains. Audiovent mixes sophisticated metaphors into scream-along anthems, lifting the pedal from the metal only for the Brian Wilson homage "When I Drown."
