In an unusual move, the Seattle based Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band gathered considerable attention before releasing a single song. Instead the band relied on word of mouth, their quirky sensibility and several original 'PSA-style' youtube videos which don't even feature their music. Anticipation proved to be a great ally to the band, and upon the release of several songs from their upcoming EP they succeeded in providing a legitimate basis for all the internet hype.

The band is composed of Benjamin Verdoes (Guitar, and vocals), Marshall Verdoes (drums), Jared Price (bass), and Drew Fitchette (guitar). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
