Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris is the only major label album by alternative rock band Audiovent.

The band's origins trace back to the members attending middle school, when lead singer Jason Boyd began playing music with friend bassist Paul Fried.

[6] The band entered the studio with music producer Gavin Mackillop to record their major label album debut in 2001, though the process proved to be "slow and tedious".

[9] The band hadn't initially planned on doing this, but went with it once they realized how well their old songs sounded when they were re-recorded in a high-tech studio with a professional producer and equipment like Pro-Tools.

[9] The band purposely used a traditional "guitar, bass, and drum" rock sound in their music, in efforts to distance themselves from the DJs, rapped vocals, and angsty themes commonly found in nu metal and rap metal's music, which was at its peak of popularity upon the band's major label debut.

[2] Music journalists noted a diversity between their songs as well, with Margo Whitman of Billboard described them as having " cuts that run the gamut from acoustic-type ballads to hardcore rock numbers".

[1] Melodic compared the album's sound favorably to Fuel, referring to it as "an electrifying record filled with tense and vibrating grooves", and ultimately concluding that "You won't be disappointed if you love modern hard rock and wants new music for your mixtapes to come....A candidate for the top 20 list this year pronto!

Overall, I'm impressed with Audiovent's album"[17] All tracks are written by Benjamin Einziger, Paul Fried, Jamin Wilcox and Jason Boyd[12] [13] [18]
