Sum 41 hit world-wide radiolocation in 1996 later on flyspeck Ajax, Ontario, proven unable to fully hold the foursome's blathering intermixture of punk-pop riffing, rap music poses, and toilet bowl humour. Led by guitarist/vocalist Deryck Whibley, wHO looked like a mash-up of the Prodigy's Keith Flint and sketch land's Calvin, the dance band as well included guitarist/vocalist Dave Baksh, bassist Cone McCaslin, and drummer Steve Jocz. Wooed by the boys' goofy antics and incendiary live show (and activated almost the prospect of promoting their identical own blink-182), Island place Sum 41 on the payroll department in 1999. The Half Hour of Power EP followed, and Warped Tour dates got the word out. They returned in 2000 with the fun-filled full-length All Killer No Filler, and the singles "In Too Deep" and "Fat Lip" became staples of both modern rock wireless and Number Request Live.
An extensive term of enlistment followed, and Sum 41 enjoyed their boffo success the way all near-teenage boys would, with pile of towel-snapping, groupie-loving, and self-depreciating, underestimate humor. In 2002, they returned to full with Does This Look Infected? While the record album was a bit harder-edged, it found the band just as jazzed as ever to desegregate punk-pop business with sophomoric joy: the video for "Hell Song" featured the fellas acting out a form of rock mavin bacchanalia cage match with the tending of a few celebrity action figures. Metallica, Jesus Christ, and the Osbournes all made appearances in the hilarious clip.
Not all playfulness and games, however, their involvement in the brotherly love grouping War Child Canada had Sum 41 lending a hand in the devising of a 2004 documentary natural covering the personal effects of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Five days into cinematography, fight and gunfire abruptly erupted around them, and they scarce at large unscathed -- these events lED to 2004's slightly more mature and dangerous exploit, Chuck, named for the UN aid prole, Chuck Pelletier, world Health Organization was instrumental in acquiring them to safe. The DVD Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo was released at the end of 2005 and the live album Go Chuck Yourself appeared the following March. Guitarist Dave Baksh left the band during the spring of 2006 due to creative differences, release on to strain the metal-punk outfit Brown Brigade. Sum 41 continued on as a trio, and their first base album as such, Underclass Hero, appeared in July 2007.
