Emerging from the molten wreckage of Seattle rockers In Praise of Folly comes Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, who've just signed on with fellow berzerkers-of-nature Dead Oceans. The group recently self-released an EP called Weepy, co-produced by Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective), and will issue a full-length with Colburn's assistance in the spring from their new imprint.

With 13-year-old drummer and budding physiologist Marshall Verdoes in tow, the band hits the road along the West Coast this month and next.
