Quietly making a name for themselves since 2004, the sweethearts in Vedera have been accruing buzz the old-fashioned way: one show at a time. But being dedicated road warriors is not without its pitfalls, as this Kansas City quartet can attest to. In this edition of "The 5," singer/guitarist/pianist Kristin May talks about how her minor fender bender led to a jurisdictional dispute between Kansas and Missouri highway patrols. While guitarist Brian Little remembers a time the band's fought some black ice and the black ice won.

Fans may have heard Vedera's melancholy, piano-driven pop soundtrack the emotional car crashes (as well as the eye-rolling, sighing and crying) of Heidi, Audrina, Lo and the rest of The Hills gals. Hear what the band has to say about songs from their Stages albums being heavily featured on the show. And listen for more Vedera on Season 6 of The Hills.
