One of the most famous punk bands in the world is, undoubtedly, Sum 41. The grouping from Ajax, Ontario, is active since ´96 and its current members are Deryck Whibley (voice and rhythm guitar), Jason McCaslin (who is on bass and the voices of the choir), Steve Jocz (drums, vocals) and Tom Thacker (lead guitar, keyboard and chorus).
In ´99 the band started to become famous after signing a contract with record label Island Records and after presenting a series of singles that positioned them well in the punk scene they released their first CD called “All Killer No Filler “In 2001.
But the moment they became famous and ceased to be an little underground band was undoubtedly when they wrote and submitted the song “Fat Lip”, the first single from their first LP. That song reached the top of the Modern Rock Billboard chart and remained to this day the most famous of the group. “All Killer No Filler” reached platinum status in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom and from that moment Sum 41 released three new albums: “Does This Look Infected?” “Chuck” and “Underclass Hero”, which all went platinum in Canada.
The group performs more than 300 times per year and they go on very long tours around the globe, most of the time they last longer than a year. That is one reason why they released so few LPs in nearly two decades of work.
