Sum 41 Is Born 5u82q
The crazy Canadian foursome from Ajax, Ontario all used to play in rival bands when they were in high school. They decided to forces in 1996 and formed their own band made up of Deryck Whibley (Bizzy D) on vocals and guitar, Dave Baksh (Brown Sound) also on bass. The band chose the name Sum 41 cuz they formed the band 41 days into the summer before grade 12.
