They then released an EP, Punk Life, in November 2006. The EP included three original songs and 3 "crunk rock" parodies of rap songs.

The first time I saw Whole Wheat Bread was one of my first shows ever. They were opening for Big D & the Kids Table and I had only heard "Old Man Sampson" and assumed they were almost like a folk punk band. Boy was I wrong. Hip-hop, hard punk, free style rapping...seemed like they could do it all. One show their bass player was white, which allowed a lot of on-stage jokes.
