Banana Vacuum is a hardcore punk band from St. John’s, NL, Canada. Started by brothers, Jacob Cherwick (age 19) & Mark Cherwick (age 8)  for the 2018 RPM Challenge). They write songs about food, siblings, minions & various other frustrations of 8-year-old life. Banana Vacuum independently released their debut album “Never Mind the Minions, Here’s Banana Vacuum” in March 2018, garnering over 3,500 plays on Bandcamp in it’s first week. Shortly thereafter, the Cherwick brothers enlisted bassist Liam Ryan & drummer Damon Dooley to round out the band as a live act, wowing audiences with their surreal, high energy performances. Banana Vacuum has been raved about by both provincial & national outlets of the CBC, NPR Music, The Telegram & The Overcast, among others. Listen at Bandcamp.
