Synopsis

Product Description

At first blush, this album recalls Wolf Parade with the band's frayed melodic sensibilities and urgent, driven vocals in particular. Of course, Wolf Parade borrowed a few ideas from Modest Mouse, whose beginnings were indebted to the Pixies. This is the sort of musical lineage that creates the foundation for this group's debut. But dig a little deeper and strains of Queen's epic rock peer through, while exhilarating guitar work that nods towards Thin Lizzy appears in more than a few songs.

CD Reviews

Breathing new life into tired old Rock

Cheapsk8 | pleasanton, ca | 09/28/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This band takes Rock to a uniquely new place. Blending guitar styles more reminiscent of the 1970's with rhythms, lyrics, and vocals more akin to Alternative and Indie rock, Mt St Helens Vietnam Band has taken a tired, worn out genre and has breathed new life into it. My pathetic attempt to compare them to other genres really underscores how truly unique this band is. Their songs are heart, soul and cajones wrapped in one. This band is good from the ground up. The rhythm section is second to none, and the guitarists show an amazing amount of collaboration on par with the Allman Brothers."
