An appealing blast of West Coast new wave, with good songs played with blistering intensity.

San Francisco based outfit fronted by ex- Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna bassist Jack Casady. Casady brought with him Nick Buck from Hot Tuna and added Brian Marnell and Bill Gibson from Airplay (ex Sound Hole). The band was formed early in 1978 as Jack Casady Band but evolved rapidly into SVT. Their debut single ”Heart of Stone”, became a hit on local FM station KSAN.

Bill Gibson, who had been a founding member of SVT, did not play on any of SVT”s albums – only on the singles. Although, he is playing drums and singing backing vocals on two tracks that were added to the re-released and extended ”No Regrets” album (see discography). Bill left SVT in 1979 to form what was to become Huey Lewis and the News. He was replaced by local drummer Paul Zahl.

So what does SVT stand for? Long time fans thought it to be Supra Ventricular Tachycardia – excessive heart beat and pulse rate. That”s a cool idea because SVT”s music could cause that. In reality the name SVT was simply taken from Jack”s bass amp rig
