Sum 41 is a Canadian pop-punk band, from Ajax, Ontario, formed from members of local rival bands, 41 days into the summer of 1996. They signed a record deal with Island Records in 1999 and released their hair-metal/poppunk fusion album Half Hour Of Power and their second album All Killer No Filler came next, with Sum 41 releasing several international hit singles beginning with 2001's "Fat Lip". Does This Look Infected?, a more heavy punk album, came next, followed by Does This Look Infected Too?, a live bonus EP. The band's newest album, Chuck, is a mix of much heavier songs such as "The Bitter End", and slower fillers such as "Pieces".

In 2003, lead vocalist Deryck Whibley was rumoured to have had an intimate sexual relationship with hotel heiress/model Paris Hilton but he is now engaged to marry Avril Lavigne, while drummer Steve Jocz was said to have had a relationship with Paris' The Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie. They also did a song called "Little Know it All" with Iggy Pop on Iggy's new album Skull Ring.
