The Zit Remedy, later known as The Zits, are a fictional rock band who appear in the Degrassi television franchise. A three-piece group with no live drummer, they are known in the show for their single song "Everybody Wants Something", of which they are shown performing on numerous occasions throughout the series. The band consists of Joey Jeremiah (Pat Mastroianni) on keyboards, Archie "Snake" Simpson (Stefan Brogren) on guitar, and Derek "Wheels" Wheeler (Neil Hope) on bass, with all three sharing lead vocals. For a brief period, Wheels is forced to give up the band for extra tutoring and is replaced by Simon Dexter (Michael Carry). The band is also referenced several times in Degrassi: The Next Generation.
