The Perks - The Perks EP

Here's an obscure one from London, Ontario, Canada. Not sure if these guys were a real band or if this was a project. At any rate; it was released in 1978 and it came in a silk screened, manila envelope. Great quirky, super catchy example of why I'm such a fan of Canadian, Punk/Powerpop from this period. If anyone has any info on these guys; please share..
