Agents is a respected Finnish band renowned for their role in popularizing and revitalizing the rockabilly and Rautalanka (Finnish surf music) scene in Finland. Formed in the late 1970s by guitarist and band leader Esa Pulliainen, Agents quickly became known for their distinctive sound that married the twangy guitar leads of surf music with the passionate energy of rockabilly, alongside a touch of melancholic Finnish sentimentality. The band reached the height of its popularity in the late '80s and early '90s when they collaborated with the iconic Finnish singer Jorma Kääriäinen.

Their impressive catalog has expanded over the decades, with a fusion of both original tracks and covers of classic hits, often sung in Finnish. In recent years, Agents have maintained their relevance in the Finnish music scene, evidenced by the release of "Maustetytöt x Agents," a collaboration with contemporary Finnish duo Maustetytöt in 2020, adding a fresh twist to their classic sound. Albums like "Agents Is... Best!" and "Is...Back!" serve as compilations and celebrations of their enduring career, encapsulating the essence of their contributions to the Finnish music landscape. The live album "Moody River (Live)" showcases the vibrant energy of their live performances that have captivated audiences for decades. Agents continue to be an influential force in Finnish music, beloved for their unique blend of genres and their dedication to the craft.
