The Vermicious Knid was an indie rock band from Brantford, Ontario. Formed in October 2000,.[1] They released an EP independently in 2001 and released a second EP, Days That Stand Still, on AntiAntenna Recordings in 2002. However, after releasing their first and only full-length album, Smalltown Devotion/Hometown Compulsion, in 2005 they officially disbanded, although they played their final show at The Ford Plant on 10 February 2006.[2]
