Whiz Kids "We Go Bananas!!!" ep

The WHIZ KIDS were a project band set up by Graeme and Konrad to deal with the down time from WEDNESDAY NIGHT HEROES. Graeme has always expressed his love for youth crew  and WHIZ KIDS is that expression. Specifically GORILLA BISCUITS, hence the chant "We Go Bananas" in the song "Gorilla Whiz Kid". Gorillas love bananas not bicsuits. And the song breaks out into a SHAM 69 / COCKNEY REJECTS like football chant with "Bananas" becoming the chorus. This is a fun outpouring of youth crew love played by guys capable of ripping it up. The songs on here are:

1. Gorilla Whiz Kid

2. Time to Move

3. Whiz Kidz

4. What's Up

5. Shoe Thief at the Sock Party

6. A Slice of Life

7. Whiz Kidz (Turbo)

Released by Unrest Records - Suite 239, 10654 - 82 nd Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6E 2A7 / Canada / www.myspace.com/unrestrecords)
