Bizzy D, Brownsound, Cone and Stevo32, were all once members
of separate rival bands in high school, when they decided to join forces to create one ultimate band...41 days into the summer
before twelfth grade. That band was Sum41 and it kept their minds sidetracked enough to ensure that only three out of the
four of them would get their diploma. So how did four seemingly uneducated, untalented, and unattractive dorks from Canada
manage to dish out an album so deadly that 41 just may replace 666 as the new number of the beast?
Well...after landing
a deal with Island Records in late December of 1999 with the help of their now-infamous home-made EPK (electronic press kit)
which includes footage of everything from their energetic live show to super-soaker drive-bys, Sum41 began honing their skills
on the road. Touring with bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Face to Face, the Offspring, Blink 182, Social Distortion
and the Warped tour, Sum41 acquired enough worldly knowledge to develop their own recorded prophecy of impending doom. This
recording is All Killer, No Filler. An album packed with so much punk, metal, hip-hop and rock that it''ll corrupt Americas
youth in a way thatll send grandma running.
In order to capture their definitive pop-punk sound, Sum41 recruited producer,
Jerry Finnbad Finn (Green Day, Blink 182), and engineer Jesus Joe McGrath to work on All Killer, No Filler, an album soon
to replace bibles in hotel rooms. With songs as catchy as Fat Lip, In Too Deep and Motivation, Sum41 could easily spark a
global fan base.
