In 1999, Sum 41 signed an international record deal with Island Records and released its first EP, Half Hour of Power, in 2000. The band released its debut album, All Killer No Filler, in 2001. The album achieved mainstream success with its first single, "Fat Lip", which reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and remains the band's most successful single to date. The album's next singles "In Too Deep" and "Motivation" also achieved commercial success. All Killer No Filler was certified platinum in both the United States and the United Kingdom and triple platinum in Canada. In 2002, the band released Does This Look Infected?, which was also a commercial and critical success. The singles "The Hell Song" and "Still Waiting" both charted highly on the modern rock charts.

The band released its next album, Chuck, in 2004, led by singles "We're All to Blame" and "Pieces". The album proved successful, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard 200. In 2007, the band released Underclass Hero, which was met with a mixed reception, but became the band's highest-charting album to date. It was also the band's last album on Aquarius Records. The band released the album Screaming Bloody Murder, on Island Records in 2011 to a generally positive reception, though it fell short of its predecessors' commercial success. The band's sixth studio album, 13 Voices was released in 2016, through Hopeless Records. IMPALA awarded the album with a double gold award for 150,000 sold copies across Europe.

History

[edit]

1994–1998: Formative years

[edit]

Sum 41 has its origins in the band Kaspir, which was formed by Deryck Whibley and Grant McVittie in 1994, inspired by Weezer and Nirvana. As time went on, the band's founding drummer was replaced by Steve Jocz and the music became increasingly inspired by NOFX, particularly their 1991 album Ribbed. Seeing this change as too sonically dissimilar to their original sound, Kaspir decided to change its name because it sounded “like the early nineties rock music we used to listen to, and don’t anymore”[4].[5] The band chose the name “Sum 41” after looking at the calendar and counting how many days it had been from the start of their summer break to the day the Warped Tour was on and it was forty-one days.[4] The band debuted its new name during Supernova's Battle of the Bands on September 28, 1996.[4][6][7] The first lineup to use this name included Whibley, Jocz, McVittie and Jon Marshall.[5] Another early member was bassist Richard Roy.[8]

Their first televised live performance was at Jonopalooza, on the Canadian teen talk show Jonovision hosted by Trailer Park Boys star, and Canadian comedian, Jonathan Torrens.[9]

The band met their manager and producer Greig Nori, also the lead vocalist of the band Treble Charger, in 1996 at Jonopalooza,[6] and Whibley convinced Nori to watch his band perform.[6] Nori was not impressed with the band's songs or the original vocalist Jon Marshall and advised Whibley to be the vocalist instead causing Marshall to leave.[8][6] With Whibley moving to lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Dave Baksh, a friend of Deryck and Steve and fellow student at Exeter High School, joined as lead guitarist.[8] Early on the band was involved in a near-fatal car accident, resulting in Roy leaving the band,[8] with Jason McCaslin, another friend of the band’s and student at Exeter High School, being brought in on bass to complete the new line-up.[10][11] In 1996, the band opened for Len.[6]

1998–2000: Half Hour of Power

[edit]

In 1998, the band recorded a demo tape on compact cassette which they sent to record companies in the hope of getting a recording contract.[6]

From 1999 to 2000, the band recorded several new songs.[12][13] The Introduction to Destruction and later the Cross The T's and Gouge Your I's DVDs both contain the self-recorded footage, which show the band performing a dance to "Makes No Difference" in front of a theatre.[12][13]

After signing with Island Records in 1999, Sum 41's first EP, Half Hour of Power, was released on June 27, 2000.[14] The first single released by the band was "Makes No Difference", which had two different music videos.[15] The first video was put together using the video clips sent to the record label, and the second showed the band performing at a house party.[16] The album was certified platinum in Canada.[17]

2001–2003: All Killer No Filler and Does This Look Infected?

Sum 41's first full-length album, All Killer No Filler, was released on May 8, 2001.[18][19] The album was very successful; it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in August 2001.[20] "Fat Lip", the album's first single,[21][22][23] achieved significant chart and commercial success; it topped the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart as well as many other charts around the world.[24] The song remains the band's most successful to date. After "Fat Lip", two more singles were released from the album: "In Too Deep" and "Motivation".[21][18][25] "In Too Deep" peaked at number 10 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, while "Motivation" peaked at number 24 on the same chart.[26] The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart and at number nine on the Top Canadian Albums chart.[27] The album was a commercial success, and was certified Platinum in the United States, UK, and triple platinum in Canada[28][29] The album's name was taken from the initial reaction from Joe Mcgrath, an engineer working in the studio.[30]

The band spent much of 2001 touring; the group played over 300 concerts that year before returning to the studio to record another album.[31] The band took part in the 2001 Vans Warped Tour[32] and the Campus Invasion Tour.[33] In April 2002, the band went on a month long tour called the Sum Like it Loud Tour.[31]

On May 3, 2002, Spider-Man was released in theaters which featured an extended version of the song from Sum 41’s first album “Half Hour of Power” called “What We're All About”,[34] which in the album was combined with another short song called “Dave’s Possessed Hair”. The song was listed on the album as “Dave’s Possessed Hair/It’s What We’re All About”.[35]

In October 2002, the band went on a month long tour called the Sum on Your Face Tour.[36] On November 26, 2002, the group released its second album, Does This Look Infected?[37][38] The special edition came with a DVD, Cross The T's and Gouge Your I's. Whibley said of the album: "We don't want to make another record that sounds like the last record, I hate when bands repeat albums."[39] The album featured a harder and edgier sound, and the lyrics featured a more serious outlook.[40] The album peaked at number 32 on the Billboard 200 chart and at number eight on the Top Canadian Albums chart.[41] It was certified Platinum in Canada and gold in the United States.[42][43]

The first single released from the album was "Still Waiting",[44] which peaked at number seven on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[26][44][45] The second single, "The Hell Song" peaked at number 13 on the chart.[26] "The Hell Song"'s music video depicted the band members using dolls with their pictures on them and others, such as Korn, Kiss, AC/DC, Snoop Dogg, Destiny's Child, Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, and Pamela Anderson.[46] The third single, "Over My Head (Better Off Dead)", had a video released exclusively in Canada and on the band's website, featuring live shots of the band.[47] The video also appeared on the group's live DVD, Sake Bombs and Happy Endings (2003), as a bonus feature.[46] The band again began a long tour to promote the album before recording the group's third studio album.[21]

2004–2005: Chuck

[edit]
Main article: Chuck (Sum 41 album)

In late May 2004, the band traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo with War Child Canada, a branch of the British charity organization War Child, to document the effects of the country's civil war.[48] There had been a stoppage in fighting for almost a year and a half, yet days after arriving, fighting broke out in Bukavu near the hotel where the band was staying.[49][50] The band waited for the fighting to die down, but it did not.[51] A UN peacekeeper, Charles "Chuck" Pelletier, called for armoured carriers to take the hotel's occupants out of the hot zone.[51] After nearly twenty hours, the carriers arrived, and the band and forty other civilians were taken to safety.[51]

The first single from the album was "We're All To Blame",[60] which peaked at number 10 on the Alternative Airplay chart.[61] It was followed by "Pieces",[62] which reached the top of the charts in Canada.[63][64][65] In 2004, the band went on a co-headlining North American Tour with Good Charlotte.[66] The band joined Mötley Crüe on their Carnival of Sin summer tour as an opening act.[67]

A documentary of the band's experience in Congo was made into a film called Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo and later aired on MTV.[68][69][70][71] War Child released it on DVD on November 29, 2005, in the United States and Canada.[68][69][70][71] Following the album's release, the band went on a tour with Good Charlotte until 2006.[72] On December 21, 2005, Sum 41 released a live album, Happy Live Surprise, in Japan.[73][74] The CD contained a full concert recorded live in London, Ontario.[74] The same CD was released March 7, 2006, in Canada under the name Go Chuck Yourself.[73][74] The band played videos before its set that were deemed "unsuitable for children".[75] Controversy arose over some of the videos' violent content.[75]

On May 10, 2006, Dave Baksh announced in a statement through his management company that he was leaving Sum 41 to work with his new band, Brown Brigade, which has a more "classic metal" sound.[6][76] Baksh cited "creative differences" as the reason for his departure, but claimed that he was still on good terms with the band.[76] The next day, Whibley confirmed Baksh's departure and announced that the band would only replace him with a touring guitarist, who would not have any decision-making power in the band or be in videos, photo shoots, or albums.[77] The band hired Gob frontman and guitarist Tom Thacker to replace Baksh.[6][77]

On April 17, 2007, the band released a song on iTunes, "March of the Dogs".[78][79] Whibley was threatened with deportation from the United States for the song, because he metaphorically "killed the president" on it.[79][80] The band's fourth studio album, Underclass Hero was released on July 23, 2007.[81]

The album, backed by the first single and title track, "Underclass Hero", was released on July 24, 2007.[79][78][82] Despite mixed reviews,[83] the album was a commercial success, debuting at number seven on the Billboard 200[54] and at number one on the Billboard Rock Albums chart, the band's highest US chart position to date.[84] It also peaked at number one on the Canadian Albums chart[55] and on the Alternative Albums chart.[85] Two more singles were released from the album, "Walking Disaster"[86] and "With Me".[87] Underclass Hero was certified Platinum in Canada.[88] On September 15, 2007, the band headlined the House of Blues with Yellowcard.[89]

In October 2007, the band began the Strength in Numbers Tour, a tour of Canada with Canadian band Finger Eleven; Die Mannequin opened each of Sum 41's shows.[90] During the tour, Whibley sustained a herniated disk.[90] As a result, the group cancelled the rest of its shows.[90] After Whibley recovered from his injury, the band continued the Underclass Hero tour in March 2008 and toured until early July, when the group began preparation for its next album.[91]

Side projects and collaborations

[edit]

Before the release of Half Hour of Power, and up until the departures of Dave Baksh and Steve Jocz, Sum 41 occasionally played as an alter ego 1980s heavy metal band called Pain for Pleasure during shows.[208] The band appeared in Sum 41's music videos for "Fat Lip" and "We're All to Blame" and had at least one song on each of the band's first three releases.[209] The group's best known song under the Pain for Pleasure moniker is the song of the same name from All Killer No Filler, a track that remains the band's staple during live shows and features drummer Steve Jocz on lead vocals. During the Don't Call It a Sum-Back Tour in 2017, Pain for Pleasure appeared performing the song at the end of their show with guitarist Tom Thacker replacing Jocz as the vocalist.[208]

Sum 41 has collaborated with many other artists, both live and in the studio, including: MC Shan, Tenacious D,[210] Ludacris,[211] Iggy Pop,[212] Pennywise,[213] Bowling for Soup,[213] Unwritten Law,[214] Mike Shinoda,[215] Treble Charger,[216] Gob,[214] Tommy Lee,[217][218] Rob Halford,[218] Kerry King,[6] Metallica,[219] Ja Rule,[220] DMC,[221] and Nothing,Nowhere.[222]

In a November 2004 interview, Deryck Whibley said: "We don't even consider ourselves punk. We're just a rock band. We want to do something different. We want to do our own thing. That's how music has always been to us."[258] Dave Baksh reiterated Whibley's claims, stating "We just call ourselves rock... It's easier to say than punk, especially around all these fuckin' kids that think they know what punk is. Something that was based on not having any rules has probably one of the strictest fucking rule books in the world."[259]

Sum 41's musical style has consistently changed between albums.[260] The band's EP Half Hour of Power is described as pop-punk[35][261][262] and skate punk.[238][261] All Killer No Filler was also described as pop-punk[21][263][264] and skate punk[265] (except for "Pain for Pleasure", which is purely heavy metal).[266] Does This Look Infected? has been described as punk rock,[267] pop-punk[263] melodic hardcore,[250] horror punk,[250] and heavy metal.[250] Chuck departed heavily from their pop-punk origins, into a sound influenced by heavy metal and hardcore punk,[50][254] and has been categorised by critics as alternative metal,[260] thrash metal[254][260] and melodic hardcore.[260] Underclass Hero was as a revival of the band's pop-punk style,[268] however differentiated itself from their early work through its heavy use of acoustic guitars, complex vocal harmonies, pianos and organs.[269] Screaming Bloody Murder saw the band turn in a much darker direction. Sonically it was a return to metal, while also incorporating elements of garage rock and, on some songs, progressive rock.[260] 13 Voices and Order in Decline saw the band continue in this heavier direction, incorporating elements of hardcore punk, metalcore and thrash metal.[260] Their final album, Heaven :x: Hell, is a double album which features both a return to the pop-punk sound of the band's early career, and a continuation of the band's later heavy metal sound.[270][271] This album was also described as skate punk,[272] alternative rock,[272] and alternative metal.[273]

Some of the band's songs contain political-social commentary; "Still Waiting" is an anti-George W. Bush and anti-Iraq War song,[274][275] "The Jester" and "March of the Dogs" also are critical of Bush,[79] "45 (A Matter of Time)" is critical of former US president Donald Trump,[276][277] "Underclass Hero" is a song about class struggle, and "Dear Father" is about Whibley's absent father.[278]

Sum 41's influences include Weezer, Slayer, the Police, Devo, Megadeth, Pennywise, Refused, Rancid, No Use for a Name, the Vandals, Anthrax, Carcass, Dio, Judas Priest, Foo Fighters, Green Day, NOFX, Lagwagon, Face to Face, Nirvana, the Beatles (including John Lennon's solo work), Elvis Costello, Beastie Boys, Run–D.M.C., Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Iron Maiden.[note 2] Sum 41 has inspired modern artists such as 5 Seconds of Summer, Seaway, Dune Rats, Marshmello, PVRIS, Trash Boat, Neck Deep, the Vamps, Bully, Waterparks, and Roam.[note 3]
