Sum 41 is a Canadian pop-punk band, from Ajax, Ontario. The band was formed from members of several local high school bands, 41 days into the summer of 1996. The band consists of Deryck Whibley (a.k.a. Bizzy D performing lead vocals, guitar, keyboard/ piano), Dave Baksh (a.k.a. Dave Brownsound with lead guitar and backing vocals), Jason McCaslin (a.k.a. Cone with bass and backing vocals), Steve Jocz (a.k.a. Stevo32 with drums and backing vocals). Since signing a record deal with Island Records in 1999, the band has released 4 full length albums, 1 EP, and over 10 singles.
The members of Sum 41 started out in rival bands in high school. They joke that they met while attending a Hole concert 41 days into the summer (which is how they got the name Sum 41) of 1996. However the current bassist, Cone, joined the band later in the year 1999.
The guys carried a video camera with them and filmed crazy Jackass-esque antics including, robbing a pizza place with water guns and performing a dance to "Makes No Difference" in front of an arena (both of which can be seen on both " Introduction to Destruction" and the bonus DVD from Does This Look Infected?).
The band submitted the video footage along with their demo tapes to several record labels. Island Records, seeking a new pop-punk band in the blink-182 vein, signed Sum 41 in early 2000.
Sum 41's first EP was released on June 27, 2000 and titled Half Hour of Power. The first single from the album was " Makes No Difference", which was featured in the movies " Bring It On", " Van Wilder" and " Out Cold" and the video game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2. The song " What I Believe" is featured in the movie " Dude, Where's my Car?".
