Canadian emo punks the Vermicious Knid use the quiet verse/loud chorus formula made famous by Nirvana in a different setting, surrounding it with complex guitar tendrils that bring to mind math rock while adding a spunky energy often associated with pop punk. What results is a tense, noisy collection of tracks that showcase the band's intense playing skills and eclectic tastes. Their debut, 2002's Days That Stand Still, is a moody EP that represents their songwriting well. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
