About

Two-time Juno Award winners Sum 41 rode the crest of the nu-metal wave in the early 2000s with a catchy blend of punk, rap and metal elements woven into their music. They were able to pinpoint some of the most infectious characteristics of popular genres and meld them into a hybrid that won them throngs of fans who were eager for more. Tickets to their concerts traditionally sell out fast, as fans don't want to miss the chance to jump up with the band and request songs through the extra microphone that seems to just float around the stage. The band orchestrates this circus-like scenario night after night on tour and even indulges in a cover or two by Judas Priest or Iron Maiden —complete with drum solos. Incidentally, the band was lucky enough to borrow drummer Tommy Lee from Motley Crue for a stretch between 2001 and 2003. Their August 2011 release Sum 41 Live at the House of Blues boasts plenty of live concert antics and features the hit songs "Underclass Hero," "Motivation" and "Fat Lip."

The band hails from Ajax, Ontario, Canada and is fronted by lead singer, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter Deryck Whibley. They began in 1996 as a NOFX cover band called Kaspir but eventually changed their name for a high-profile show opening for Supernova. They signed an international record deal with Island Records in 1999, which resulted in their 2001 debut release All Killer, No Filler. They embarked on a relentless journey of touring and songwriting that led to the 2002 release of Does This Look Infected?, 2004's Chuck, 2007's Underclass Hero and the 2011 release Screaming Bloody Murder, with subsequent tours. Sum 41 continues this tradition with a string of Canadian tour dates scheduled for the spring of 2014.

    Wow !! their greatest hits!

    by alexd42 on 2012-11-12Métropolis - Montreal

    They played 27 songs in 2 hours. The first 12 were from their second CD, Does this look infectef? After the did a medley of their greatest hits and they finish with an encore of 4 songs. They were really great, same sound as on the CD. Derek was pretty funny.

    Sum 41 was the best show ever!

    by xxzackyyxx on 2012-11-10The Phoenix Concert Theatre - Toronto

    I've never seen Sum 41 and I've had high expectations coming an hour away to see them and listening to them non stop to know most of their songs. The crowd also was insane and when I came out I was drenched in sweat, my voice was gone from singing most of the songs and my shoe was destroyed, definitely a night to remember! They had such great stage presence and just killed it! Definitely seeing again in the future multiple times!

    Awesome live!!

    by Bubbles420 on 2012-10-30flats at arrowhall - Toronto

    Saw them at Warped Tour a couple years ago and they kick ass...although it seemed like they were missing something that they had when Brownsound was still there. I crowd surfed during the first song, gave them the 41 salute and Derryck pointed at me and gave me a thumbs up :) Anyways great set, great stage presence, but I prefer their old stuff to their new albums. Either way, you won't be disappointed

    The show was really Good. Sum 41 real Fans's expectations were satisfied. The overall sound was not that good, maybe because de equalization of the guitar's wasn't very good and the acoustics of the place didn't help either.

    Greater than the sum of it's parts

    by Torontogirl123 on 2011-03-18The Opera House - Toronto

    Lots of energy. Very interactive. Band sang all their greatest hits and Screaming Bloody Murder was awesome. I only wish they sang a couple more songs from their new album.
