Also Playing: Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band

Seattle’s Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band may have discovered the secret to sounding—if not staying—young: Start a band with a 12-year-old. Drummer Marshall Verdoes is now in his teens, but his age is no less an inextricable part of what makes this band tick. At the heart of all those bendy guitars, time shifts, and small sing-along anthems is a feeling of great, familial warmth: Marshall is the step-brother and essentially the live-in son of singer Benjamin Verdoes and wife Traci Eggleston, who is also the keyboardist for the band. If all that seems as knotty as the group’s complicated handle, fear not: MSHVB’s self-titled debut resonates with an easy-going simplicity and loads of energy.
