Why do we like this?

This is a bit of special one for me because Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band were actually the first ever band to be blogged about on Indie Shuffle. You can read that article from way back in 2009 by following this link.

It's been roughly 14 years since this band kicked things off. They released two albums: Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band (2009) and Where The Messengers Meet (2010). Which means that "Eyes Wide Shut" is their first new single in more than a decade. And that kinda makes me feel old.

The song has a catchy verse - and that's what managed to pull me in. At times the chorus isn't my favorite, but as a complete package this song has been on repeat among my daily listening for a little over a week now, and I can't say I'm tired of it yet. Hopefully you'll find yourself in the same boat :)
