Product Description
Album Description
Describing their music as akin to The Ronettes on speed, Sleeper Agent make hook-laden skuzzy Garage-Pop rooted in both Soul and Southern Rock - all fueled by drummer Justin ''Keyser'' Wilson s manic rhythms and the dueling harmonizing vocals of vocalist Alex ''Kidd'' Kandel and guitarist Tony ''Tutone'' Smith, who is also the band's songwriting force of nature. Not only do they cite such musical artists as Jay Reatard, The Strokes, Pixies, T-Rex, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin as influences, they are also influenced by horror and sci-fi flicks as well as stand-up comedians.

Sleeper Agent has an original sound in a sea of same old same old!, Sep 29 2011
By B. Glenn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celabrasion (Audio CD)
WOW...I cannot believe it's been a few days since it's release and NOBODY has left a review as of yet.I did notice this cd was released on a smaller label...and my local Best Buy only ordered 2...so maybe that's it...it SURELY CANNOT be the content...these guys are really good.
I first heard these guys on one of my local radio stations, they played "Get it Daddy" and could not wait to get the entire album. The Chorus for Get it Daddy really reminded me of old vintage Misfits, which I am a sucker for...so I had to try them.
I have to say the entire album is VERY solid. If you like the single...you will like the entire album.
What I really like is that Track 9 "Some White Blinds" really shows that these guys can show their teeth when they want to...it's got a little bite to it. I really hope when they release a follow-up they will put a few more harder ones like this one on the disc.
If you have been longing for some original music that does not reek of mainstream garbage...give this a try. The band is not afraid to try some different things here and there, and you don't see that a lot.

Sleeper Agent. A band I discovered through Cage the Elephant, with whom they share the home town of Bowling Green, Kentucky. As Cage are one of my favorite bands at the moment, I was thankful that their musical recommendation didn't disappoint.The album comprises of 12 fairly simple tracks, bursting with melody, hooks and brightness. The band's vocal responsibility lies with Alex Kandal and Tony Smith (also guitar); a boy-girl team up which perfectly compliments the poppy, high-energy music, courtesy of Justin Wilson (drums), Lee Williams (bass), Josh Martin (Guitar) and Scott Gardner (keys). If you like indie style outfits with a pop edge, you will more than likely be on the right street with Sleeper Agent, I can't say enough as to just how likeable they are. The only reason I knocked a star off is because Sleeper Agent are part of a scene which has become frankly monotonous and in general this album isn't anything groundbreaking, but they are still a shining light. Personal highlights for me are the ridiculously catchy "Force a smile" and the most edgy song on the album "These white blinds". Definitely would recommend these guys and when the chance arrives, I will go watch them live.

I bought two CDs for my teenagers for their Easter Baskets. Sleeper Agent came to Chicago a week before Easter and I had them sign both CDs for my kids. They loved the gift and we love the music!!!!!
