Sum 41 is a Canadian rock band from Ajax, Ontario. They formed in 1996 as a five-piece consisting of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist Dave Baksh, guitarist Tom Thacker, bassist Jason McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo.

Though they were originally called Kaspir, the group members decided to change the band’s name for a Supernova show on September 28, 1996, which happened to be the 41st day of their summer vacation. The band released their debut record as Sum 41 called Half Hour of Power in 2000. They followed it with the breakout sophomore record All Killer No Filler in 2001 and it contained several charting songs such as “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep.”

In 2002, the band released Does This Look Infected? which was also a commercial and critical success. The singles “The Hell Song” and “Still Waiting” drove the band to stardom, and with their 2004 record Chuck, they planted themselves as giants in the punk rock scene.
