Agent M is an Estonia-based alternative rock ensemble influenced by new wave and post-punk genres, delivering songs in both Estonian and English.
Initially established as a studio collaboration between guitarist Marten Vill and vocalist Merili Varik in late 2004, their tracks "7 Surmapattu" and "Kus on mu kodu" attracted attention on local radio stations, which subsequently led to the formation of a complete live band.
The group produced five music videos, with two gaining rotation on MTV Baltic channels. In the spring of 2007, Agent M secured the top position on the Baltic New Music Chart. Their discography features the 2006 EP Šokolaad (Chocolate) and the 2007 full-length album Spionaaž (Espionage), both released through Kulundpea Records. The band ceased activities in autumn 2009.
Reformation and separation
Agent M reassembled in September 2011, announcing new live performances with original members Marten Vill and Reimo Va joined by new lead vocalist Reilika Saks and drummer Taago Piisang. During this period, their musical direction evolved toward a more intense post-punk sound characterized by diminished keyboard presence.
The group dissolved once more in December 2012.
