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).

On The Collar
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band Lyrics

Grandfather Collar
Chain in his pocket
Walkin' in all black
Pain is his partner

Sweat stained fedora
Whiskey for water
Cigarettes holdin'
Holdin' him hostage

Midweek mistress
Three days missin'
Blood in between his
Knuckles, gripping his
Rolls Royce, wired
Pistol whipping
Born without a single inhibition

You can't save him he's already gone
You can't save this bad man walking tall

Got no safety, trigger happy
Gives to strangers sex in sadness
Jar full of pennies, he's a big game talker
He's no longer a good man walking

You can't save him he's already gone
You can't save this bad man walking tall
