(May 7, 2008) - A week before the release of their new project, With Arrows, With Poise, slated to release on Koch Records on Tues., May 13, The Myriad hit the top of the MTV video charts, becoming the #1 most played video on MTV and also secured the #4 music video chart position on M2 with “A Clean Shot.”

“We are surprised and humbled by just how much MTV has gotten behind our music,” states Steven Tracy, guitarist for The Myriad. “Working with them has been an amazing experience, and we are so thankful for the support they have given us.”

They say that every living creature has a soul, even the most hideous monsters. The beast that's terrorizing a forest of nice lil' creatures in this strange and surprising adventure clip not only has a soul, but flashbacks reveal a whole human-style life, complete with a wife, a job, a baby and all the others entrapments of society. That doesn't sway The Myriad http://www.themyriad.net/ , however. They show the same tenacious drive that got them 2007 MTV2 Dew Circuit Breakout http://dewcircuitbreakout.mtv2.com/artist/default.aspx?artist=200 band competition. They get "A Clean Shot" on their prey and they take it.

Watch "A Clean Shot" via YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aieNBMvbCV4 or Quicktime http://winchandpulley.com/index.php?page=Myriad, plus a "making of" at YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5oeftlsRjM

The Myriad is made up of Jeremy Edwardson, John Roger Schofield, Steven Tracy, Jonathan Young and Randy Miller.
