Hall of Fame:
1983-present
Agency
"In The Static"
Released in 2006
Agency was a band from New Jersey that started out as Republic and gained a cult-like status. Their songs reminded me more of bands like U2 and Garbage than the typical influences for a band in Asbury Park. They were around mostly in the 2000s.
In 2005, I interviewed the band (back when they were still known as Republic) for Upstage Magazine. That feature can be found here.
