Who Is Sum 41?
Sum 41 is a Canadian rock band that formed in 1996.
The band comprises lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist Dave Baksh, bassist and backing vocalist Cone McCaslin, and drummer Frank Zummo.
They are known for their punk-influenced pop-rock sound and their energetic live performances.
The band emerged when pop-punk and skate-punk gained popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their catchy melodies, energetic live performances, and humorous lyrics helped them stand out from other bands in the genre and gain a dedicated fanbase.

One of the factors that contributed to their success was their ability to blend punk rock with elements of other genres, such as metal, pop, and hip-hop, creating a unique sound that appealed to a broader audience.
Their album "All Killer No Filler" (2001), in particular, was a commercial success, with hit singles like "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep" receiving widespread airplay and making it onto charts worldwide.
In addition to their music, Sum 41's image as a fun-loving, skateboarding, and prank-pulling band helped them gain attention and appeal to younger audiences.
Their music videos often featured comedic skits and antics, further solidifying their reputation as a fun and irreverent band.
