The Vermicious Knid

Members were guitarists Tim Ford and Ryan Stanley, bassist Brian Ward and drummer Jesse Shanks.

The band formed in October 2000, choosing their name from extraterrestrial creatures in Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

[3][2] Their song "Every Bear's Life Guide" was included on a 2003 compilation album,[4] and a split 7-inch record in 2005 with the Sourkeys featured "The Problem's in My Muscles".

[5] After releasing their first and only full-length album, Smalltown Devotion/Hometown Compulsion, in 2005 they made the decision to disband, playing their final show at The Ford Plant on 10 February 2006.

Ford and Shanks later joined the band Racoon Wedding [sic] who perform in Brantford and Southwestern Ontario.
