A Dark Period.

Soon after the Zit remedy took there long break, the boys entered the brand new school.. called Degrassi High. The band (with Wheels) discussed their future plans, and the direction they wanted to take. "We gotta change the name" Joey said, and they did change the name. Something more mature, something more adult to go along with their new highschool surrondings... that name? THE ZITS. They dropped the remedy, but they kept the one hit song. Joey shopped the demo tape they had made before (the same tape that was rejected by CRAZ radio), but no one was biting. "We need a video!". The band appraoced young filmmaker Lucy Fernadez for help producing their independent video. At first they just wanted the use of her camera (because its very difficult, and chicks cant handle it), this made Lucy mad. After several revisions to the sexist video script, Lucy finally agreed to shoot and direct the video. Using Clutch's ultra cool car, the Zits shot their video in and around Degrassi.

Sadly as episodes of "Degrassi High" continued, so did the lack of interest in "The Zits", and the band was talked about less and less, until finally they were forgotton about. This page is dedicated to the millions of Degrassi fans who sang along with the band, who cheered them on as they played live, and who carried the "ZIT" torch through the dark periods that followed. This is the biography for the greatest band in the Degrassi universe....

THE COMPLETE ZIT REMEDY DISCOGRAPHY

The early years...

The Zit Remedy used to practice in the Degrassi Junior High Gym. Sometimes if they were held up in class, or taking their sweet ass time walking around, they would say "Hurry we are going to be late for practice!" but when you guys ARE the band, you arent being late for anyone but yourself. The Zits partied one night at lead guitarist SNAKE SIMPSON's house, and after waking up after a night of heavy drinking (of pop), Bassist Wheels Wheeler remembered that he had an eye doctor appointment!! The Zits were forced to steal Snakes parents car. The car's back tail light was damaged during the trip (or so the boys thought), and they had to spend 80 dollars from their amp fund to get it fixed! Well when Snakes parents got home, the truth was revealed that the light was broken prior to that day, and the boys were found out for taking the car joy riding. The band members were all grounded, Wheels wasnt allowed to hang out with the guys, Joeys keyboard was taken away by his parents, and Snake was forced to take ballet lessons. How obscene.

Marketing of a dream...

Everybody wanted something back in Junior high, and that something was the debut cassette from the Zit Remedy. These babies sold like hotcakes throughout Degrassi Junior high, and the reason was not always good tunes. A few bad apples like Alex Yankou, decided that the Zits album could be used for his own perverted pleasures. TO BE TAPED OVER. He can be overheard commenting on how the cassettes used for the Debut album cost less than a blank cassette of the same length and quality. Caitlin Ryan, proved to Joey that she had good taste in music by purchasing the album, later it was disvered that this was a ploy to get Joey to like her (how could anyone NOT like Caitlin). For 2 dollars, your world could be changed forever. Wouldnt you like to own a piece of history? wouldnt you like to own the tape that was recorded as Wheel's parents bought the farm?
