'''VAST''' is an American [[alternative rock]] band based in [[Seattle]], United States. The acronym VAST stands for '''Visual Audio Sensory Theater''' and is the main creation of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist [[Jon Crosby]].<ref name="Larkin90">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Nineties Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=2000|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0427-8|page=413}}</ref> The band is signed to 2blossoms, an independent record company created by Crosby.

VAST's sound is identifiable as ambient electro-rock with considerable industrial and acoustic influences, usually made with Crosby's traditional [[acoustic guitar]], electronic instruments and processing, drum-driven tracks, and heavy bass.<ref name="Larkin90"/> Vocally similarities range from [[classic rock]] to [[post-grunge]]. In recent years, however, VAST's sound has been more identifiable with [[acoustic music|acoustic rock]] in releases such as ''[[April (VAST album)|April]]'' and ''[[Me and You (VAST album)|Me and You]]''.
