Get Chuck'd

[Jason Tate]

On October 12, 2004, Island Records will release 'CHUCK,' the third release from multi-platinum act SUM 41. Produced by Greig Nori and mixed by Andy Wallace and Tom Lord-Alge, 'CHUCK' packs the volatile punk punch the band is known for, while showcasing the band's growth musically and lyrically.

The story of 'CHUCK' comes from the band's trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo in May to shoot a documentary (with the nonprofit group War Child Canada) about the impact of the longstanding civil war on the nation. Although the band arrived during a time of cease-fire, while there they encountered bombs and gunfire. The violence continued, and the band hid in a
hotel bathroom for safety. A U.N. representative named Chuck Pelletier made
an evacuation plan. He herded the band into the lobby, then ran with them
through gunfire to an armored tank and eventually to safety. And that is the
genesis of the title 'CHUCK.'

SUM 41 brings the intensity of their experiences in music and life to CHUCK,
making it their most inventive and creative release thus far. The first
single "We're All To Blame" highlights the band's frenetic energy surrounded
by a melodic harmony. "No Reason" gives fans a dose of SUM's high-strung
rock riffs, while "Pieces" showcases the band's evolving song craft.

'CHUCK' follows the band's 2002 release 'Does This Look Infected?' and their
2001 full-length debut 'All Killer, No Filler." Since their debut, SUM 41
has toured across the world many times over and rocked all over radio. The
band has performed on television, not only performing SUM 41's hits "Fat
Lip," "Still Waiting" and "Hell Song" but also appearing with various rock
heroes such as Iggy Pop (Late Show with David Letterman), Tommy Lee (MTV
Video Music Awards) and with Gene Simmons (as animated guests on King Of The
Hill).

it's a press release from island records, i am pretty sure they consider 1/2 hour of power an EP.

[kallok]

Funny how everyone hated Sum41 now likes them again. I can honestly say I didn't like them when they first came onto the scene, don't like them now, will never like them.

[xOxBeMinexOx]

I cant wait.. i love everything sum41 does.

[Bikeage]

haha lets give him a chocolate shit cookie... i've always loved em (busts out half hour of power t-shirt lol)

[BrandNizzle]

great. and would you like a cookie?


yea im finally starting to realize why everyone gets annoyed when people just say negative stuff all the time. if you dont like a band or dont like a song, just keep it to yourself and go listen to something you DO like. end rant.

Half Hour of Power was good record

i for one, like sum 41. but i agree with the first sentence... it seems when the "trendy" bands announce a new record, everyone who secretly likes them will suddenly admit it, but once the band shows some success with the record, usually aorund the time of the second single release, all of a sudden, most people seem to hate them.

Same thing happens with blink all the time....

makes no sense whatsoever to me.

[invincibleXL]

ive supported this band ever since i heard about them (fat lip). I gotta say this is one band that has the talent with their instruments, with their melodies, and with their lyrics. why alot of people cant see that is beyond me, but i can say that sum-41 is not the ordinary pop/punk band that everyone likes to believe.

[LDub]

just like green day is gonna be back in style

[Nate_RAWKS]

always loved Sum 41 they grew up like 30 minutes away from me they're great guys. This album will be excellent no doubt in my mind.

[popdisaster00]

fuck yeah, i have 2 songs off the new cd and they are amazing. I also have always supported sum 41 and I am confident that they will put out a superb cd.

[popdisaster00]

and did nobody think that the story of them in the gun fire and stuff wasnt outrageous?

[Sureshot182]

this cd is probably going to be great. sum 41 is a great band and their last 2 cd's have been great. i can't wait.

[punkerx99]

Where Can I Hear The Single?

[guitarguy33]

it's a press release from island records, i am pretty sure they consider 1/2 hour of power an EP.

Haha, yeah you're probably right.

[bossman calling]

i saw them opening for the bosstones on their first USA tour ever back in like 2000 or something, and i loved them. they've been pretty consistant ever since, though certain singles got really annoying.

sum 41 is one of the few modern pop punk bands left these days that actually bring some rock. when all the other bands are watering themselves down into lame pop acts or attempting some bandwagon hopping emo transistions, they have continued to do it right for the most part. i wasn't a fan of the production on the last album, but lyrically and musically, they do have it in them to put out something great.

[Just_Insane]

fuck yeah, i have 2 songs off the new cd and they are amazing. I also have always supported sum 41 and I am confident that they will put out a superb cd.

Where can u find that shit!?

[disconnect]

this band gets no love, but they really deserve it.

[yanggoh]

great. and would you like a cookie?

OH SNAP

[popdisaster00]

Where can u find that shit!?
