Darryl's Grocery Bag - A Simple Idea (2000)
I'm at my parents house this weekend watching the cats while they're at a fishing expo. I got bored so I did some searching through boxes of old shit in my old closet. I found a ton of old CD's. This is a band that's responsible for getting me into local music. My brother showed them to me when I was way younger and I thought they were rad. I was huge into what I thought was punk rock at the time and I totally dug this. Shortly after, I discovered college radio, and more inparticular a show called Punk Up The Volume on CJSW. I would listen to the show whenever it was on, and one day they had a contest where they were giving away spots on a guest list to a Darryl's Grocery Bag show. I called in and won. The next day, the same thing, same with the day after that. It was rad. I think I must have been in the seventh grade at the time and I had won like 8 guest passes to this show, so I took a ton of my friends and it was like nothing we had ever experienced before. Totally rad. Anyways, this is pop-punk that I thought was super cool back then and isn't too cool anymore, but totally nostalgic and a really fun listen. I rocked this cd so hard at grade 8 band camp.
I think these guys are still performing under some different name with a different style.
