The Vestrymen

Bio:

Begun in 1986 in Amherst, Massachusetts, The Vestrymen spread their folk-fringed powerpop - often psychedelicised - via the airwaves of college and independent radio. After several independent releases - and lots of miles in vans and pick-up trucks - the band retired from active duty in 1994. But it actually never ends, does it? DOES IT?
