Influences: NoFX, Pennywise, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Beastie Boys, Metallica, SlayerInfluenced: As I Am, 5 Seconds of SummerSum 41 is a punk rock/metal band from Ontario, Canada, formed in 1996 by vocalist/guitarist Deryck Whibley and drummer Steve Jocz under the name Casper. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Baksh, and after a set of bass guitarists, they settled on Jason "Cone" McCaslin in 1999, by which point they'd changed their name to Sum 41 (because they'd formed 41 days into their summer vacation).Their first album, All Killer, No Filler, was released in 2001 and spawned their most successful single, "Fat Lip". Their follow-up album, Does This Look Infected?, was released in 2002, featuring a darker sound and also more serious lyrical themes. This continued onto their third album Chuck, released in 2004. In 2006, Baksh left the band to focus on his own band Brown Brigade, and the band recorded their next two albums — 2007's Underclass Hero and 2011's Screaming Bloody Murder — as a trio. In this time, Tom Thacker of Gob was hired as their touring guitarist.Drummer Steve Jocz left the band in April of 2013 and was replaced with Frank Zummo, leaving Whibley as the sole remaining founding member until Dave Baksh returned in 2015. By that point, Thacker became a full-time member and they recorded their next two albums, 2016's 13 Voices and 2019's Order In Decline, as a five-piece band. A double album, titled Heaven :x: Hell, is in the works and will be the band's final album; its two sides, Heaven and Hell, will reportedly contain a throwback to the band's early sound and a continuation of their newer sound, respectively.The band's primary musical style is pop punk, but also includes various sub-genres such as rap rock ("What We're All About," "Fat Lip"), emo ("Pieces"), melodic hardcore ("Still Waiting", "We're All To Blame," "Fake My Own Death"), straightforward hardcore punk ("A.N.I.C.") and various types of Heavy Metal.Principal members (current members in bold): Deryck Whibley - lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, occasional drums (1996 - present) Steve Jocz - drums, backing and occasional lead vocals (1996 - 2013) Dave "Broundsound" Baksh - lead guitar, backing vocals (1998 - 2006) (2015 - present) Jason "Cone" McCaslin - bass, backing vocals (1999 - present) Tom "Brown Tom" Thacker - guitar, backing vocals, keyboards (2009 - present; 2006 - 2009 as touring member) Frank Zummo - drums, backing vocals (2015 - present)Discography: Half Hour of Power (2000, EP) All Killer, No Filler (2001) Does This Look Infected? (2002) Chuck (2004) Go Chuck Yourself (2005, released in Japan as Happy Live Surprise) Underclass Hero (2007) All the Good Shit (2008) Screaming Bloody Murder (2011) 13 Voices (2016) Order in Decline (2019) Heaven :x: Hell (2024) | |

Updated Re Release: "Summer" was recorded three times: once for their demo tape, once for the Half Hour Of Power EP and once for their first full-length album All Killer, No Filler. At one point, the band considered recording a new version for every album as a joke, but decided it wasn't worth it. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: In Basketball Butcher, Stevo murders (and later cooks and eats) Cone simply because he beat him in a basketball match. Stevo does it again in the super-rare short film "Wise Guys," where he shoots and kills Cone (or, at least someone who likes like him, it's hard to tell because of the Censor Box on his eyes and the poor quality of the video) just because he wouldn't tell him something. | |

A Wild Rapper Appears!: MC Shan performs second verse on the original verse of "It's What We're All About" on Half Hour of Power. In a more visual sense, DMX makes a cameo appearance in the second music video for "Makes No Difference", riding a quad bike. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Half Hour of Power, although it's actually slightly shorter, with the 30 minutes length being padded out by three minutes of silence after the last song. This is because EP is literally just the band's entire live set at the time, which was also called The Half Hour Of Power and usually did last exactly half an hour, but recording it in a studio meant spontaneities like stage banter and vamping which would make the songs longer got lost in translation. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Chuck is especially made of this. Not only does it put relatively softer songs ("Some Say", "Pieces" and "Slipping Away") between fast and aggresive songs, but even some of the heavier songs on the album have slower, melodic parts such as on "We're All to Blame" (aggressive verses, calm choruses) or "88" (which has calmer first verse and the outro, but is otherwise fast and heavy). Screaming Bloody Murder is similar to Chuck in this regard, with a mostly heavy album featuring some softer songs such as "What Am I to Say" or "Crash" and heavy songs featuring occasional softer passages, such as in all parts of "A Dark Road Out of Hell". | |

Heavy Metal | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_bab8a625 | comment |
Heavy Metal: They had an Alter-Ego Acting band named Pain for Pleasure, where they performed in wigs and costumes and used nicknames — Steve (who was lead vocalist here) was Pain, Deryck (drummer) was Gunner, Dave was Pleasure and Cone was Sniper. They recorded three songs under this monicker: "Pain for Pleasure", "Reign in Pain" and "WWVII Parts 1 & 2". They also appeared as the band in two of their music videos: "Fat Lip" (where they performed their self-titled song) and "We're All to Blame" (where they were announced as the next band to perform on Solid Gold). Incidentally, Deryck is shown as guitarist in both of those appearances, although he actually played drums in this band.note Dave is credited in the band as "the metal guy," as most of the metal influences in the songwriting came from him. All of the guitar solos and shredding riffs came and left with him. As of 2017, Pain for Pleasure is back, except now they call themselves T'aint for Pleasure, with a slightly different line-up: Pleasure and Sniper remain on their instruments, Gunner switched to rhythm guitar and was replaced by new drummer El Dildo (Frank), while Pain was replaced by T'aint (Tom). | |

Lighter and Softer: Underclass Hero is this to Does This Look Infected? and Chuck. After the latter two albums departed from the upbeat, often goofy sound from Half Hour of Power and All Killer, No Filler, Underclass Hero makes a notable return to it; that said, it's still a bit darker than Half Hour and All Killer, as plenty of its songs retain the lyrical themes from Infected? and Chuck, and there a couple somber tracks. According to them, the first part of Heaven and Hell is also going to be notably softer than the last few albums preceding it. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: Half Hour of Power and All Killer, No Filler were both very upbeat, MTV-friendly pop-punk albums. They were followed by the hardcore/horror punk inspired Does This Look Infected?.

Album Title Drop: Pretty much averted with all the albums that have a Title Track (see Non-Appearing Title below). "Underclass Hero" and "Screaming Bloody Murder" play around with their titles but don't say the exact phrases, while "13 Voices" has neither "thirteen" nor "voices" anywhere in its lyrics. Played straight for Order in Decline in "The New Sensation". | |

Lyrical Dissonance "My Direction," a fun punk song (and one of only two songs on ''Does This Look Invected?" to be in a major key) about how suicide rates in North America had gone up in the last 30 years. Similarly, "Underclass Hero" is as light-hearted as "Fat Lip," yet contains more overly rebellious lyrics like "Burning the flag!" and "Everyone sing- down with the mass!" | |

Grief Song | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: Played with in case of "Catching Fire". What originally started out as a love song, that Deryck wrote for his wife, eventually turned into a song, that describes the feelings of those left behind after their loved ones committed suicide and how Deryck would feel, if he lost her. It was partially inspired by deaths of Robin Williams Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell among others and the impact, that their deaths had on their families and friends. | |

Ode to Sobriety | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_ed554173 | comment |
Ode to Sobriety: "War," inspired by Deryck's stint in rehab for his alcoholism. While there, he realized he needed to set a goal for himself to get sober, that goal being continuing to perform. His mantra of "What am I fighting for?" became the song's refrain. | |

Hold Up Your Score | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_eff03300 | comment |
Hold Up Your Score: The music video of "In Too Deep" includes shots of judges judging the diving meet between the band and the jocks. One person is blinded by a mirror being shone from a spectator and scores badly, the judges all showing "4.1". | |

War Is Hell | |
| Sum 41 (Music) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: After recording Does This Look Infected?, the band took a break from music to join War Child Canada (the Canadian equivalent of The Peace Core), which sent them to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa to work with Congolese youths. While there, they witnessed the country's long-ongoing war firsthand, and were later caught in a deadly crossfire between rebel soldiers and government troops which destroyed their hotel. The band and everyone else staying there were trapped in the rubble for two days until they were rescued by a peacekeeper named Chuck Pelletier, who brought them safely home. Most of their following album, named Chuck in Pelletier's honor, was written to reflect on the experience. | |

Insult Backfire: Noel Gallagher once called them "the worst band in the world". They liked it enough to use it as a slogan for a while. | |

Alternate Music Video: "Makes No Difference". The first video features the band driving around town and causing mayhem and was made a promo to get the attention of record labels, while the second version has the band playing at a house party. | |
