THE ACACIA STRAIN DVD HITS TOP 10 ON BILLBOARD VIDEO CHART

THE ACACIA STRAIN's first DVD, "The Most Known Unknown," which was released last Tuesday, February 16, debuted at #10 on Billboard's Top Music Video Sales Chart. Front man Vincent Benett commented; "This is awesome news. Thank you to everyone who went out and bought the DVD last week. We are really proud of it, and hope you enjoy it. We look forward to seeing you out on tour once we are done writing and recording our new record."

The double disc set, "The Most Known Unknown," marks the band's first DVD. Disc one documents a sold out show at the Worcester Palladium shot in December 2008, while disc two contains footage of a show at the much smaller and more intimate Waterfront in the band's home turf of Holyoke MA, as well as three music videos, a documentary covering the formative years of the band and a "10 Seconds of Fame" bonus segment, in which select fans were given 10 seconds on camera to do whatever they wanted. The cover art was done by Paul Romano, who also did the cover of the band's album, "Continent."



THE ACACIA STRAIN's last full length, 2008's "Continent," debuted at number 2 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" Chart and the band won the "Myspace Readers' Choice Award" at 2009's GOLDEN GODS awards. The band is gearing up to record a new album for a tentative summer 2010 release.
