Trivia

 * This time the Newmans have their new voices than the original voices (which they are voiced by Lyon Smith, Bryn McAuley, Sergio Di Zio and Tim Beresford) on the Grojband series, but these are the voices of the main characters:
 * Carrie is voiced by Denise Oliver doing a punk-like voice, and she also sounds similar to the turtle version of Kitty Ko's voice from the Sidekick episode " Eric and Trevor's Mediocre Adventure".
 * Lenny is voiced by Cory Doran and he sounds similar to Mike's voice.
 * Kim is voiced by Tajja Isen and she sounds similar to Pony Tail, Jazzi and Betty Barrett's voices.
 * Konnie is voiced by Stephanie Anne Mills and she sounds similar to Lindsay and Vana Glama's voices.
 * Production funding is from the Canada Media Fund and the Shaw Rocket Fund.
 * The four main characters of Grojband do not appear in this show (but the characters mentioned in several episodes), but only Carrie, Lenny, Kim, Konnie, Mina and others.
 * At the end of each episode of the show, Carrie would say "Thanks for watching!", mirroring Corey's line at the end of each episode of Grojband: "Thanks for coming out, everyone!".
 * Mina would be in lots of their episodes and we would see more interactions with her sister Carrie. Also in this show she should stand up to Trina and teach her some respect.
 * Stacey DePass serves as voice director and executive producer.
