SVT rose from the ashes of Hot Tuna, comprised of ex-Airplane bassist Jack Casady and keyboardist Nick Buck. Eschewing the extended jams for tight power pop, they self-released their first single in 1979 before singing to 415 Records. There they released the brilliant "Heart of Stone" single and a seven-song EP before Buck left the band. 

In this episode of the Lost Labels Podcast, Nick Buck discusses his diverse musical influences and his time as part of San Francisco's burgeoning punk scene. Nick still releases music from his past as Nick Buck 9, which can be found on all major streaming services:
