Canadian pop-punk rock heroes Sum 41 have been busy in the studio working on the band’s forthcoming album, which frontman Deryck Whibley says is “a whole different animal” from anything they’ve ever done.
Before the band unveils their new music at SXSW, Whibley took some time to chat with Spinner about his love of Sinatra, his ex-wife and almost being killed in the Congo.
Describe your sound in your own words.
Cocky.
How did your band form?
We started in tenth grade in high-school, we were the only ones in school who really played any instruments. I hated everyone in my school and they hated me so I radiated towards the musicians… we became Sum 41.
