All The V Words was formed in 2017 by guitarist Vivian Volume, a/k/a Rich DeFinis (The Chant, Stan Still Dance Band) and guitarist Valora Vice, a/k/a/ Julie Blumel (Angry Pudding). They released one song on the DHMC6 Companion CD for the 6th Annual Dan Hosker Music Continuum.

All The V Words' eponymous debut album was recorded at The Shack North in Hialeah by Ferny Coipel. The album All The V Words released June 14, 2019 and is available on the group's Bandcamp page and a variety of streaming services including Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.

They’ll be playing the Hardback Cafe in Gainesville on Thursday, July 11 (920 NW 2nd St.) with The Ghetto Blasters from Chattanooga and Gainesville’s Piss Test.
