You may or may not have seen them perform live but there’s no doubt you’ve heard their songs. The Itchyworms have been entertaining us for a quarter of a century and have had a ball of a time doing it all these years. It’s time we take a look back at their journey together: their struggles and triumphs, their bond as bandmates and friends, and the secret to their enduring appeal. Heck, we might even find out exactly how they came up with the ultimate inuman song. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">OG, Summit’s video-first brand, presents its debut series with a deep dive into the story of Chino, Kel, Jazz, and Jugs—The Itchyworms.
