The Cool Kids are back. Sir Michael Rocks and Chuck Inglish have reunited for their comeback album "Shark Week" which is due later this year. To whet fans' appetites, they've dropped two tracks. The first is "Computer School" and the second is called "Chop" and features West Coast group The HBK Gang. The songs are exactly what you'd expect if you've listened to their music before.
