  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • With all due respect to the writers at Degrassi, “Downtown Sasquatch” has to be lamest name of any band, real or fake that we have ever heard. With that said, this band was a lot more polished than the Zit Remedy from the previous generation, and showed quite a bit of range through the series. The band never really made it; though their lead singer, Craig Manning did go on to make his own solo record. Incidentally, their guitar player in the real world would go on to have a huge Rap career, under the name of Drake.
