We wrote yesterday that Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley had been attacked in a bar and that he was in the hospital in serious condition. Today, the band released a formal update on Deryck stating that an MRI revealed he has a slipped disc in his lower back. But being the big, bad rockstar that he is, he’s going to go against doctors instructions and play at both scheduled Summersonic shows. The band is performing at 3:40PM on both dates.

Paper + Plastick Records auctioning off rare vinyl test pressings for a very good cause

A major ethos in the punk rock community is to rally around causes and help each other in one’s time of need. One instance of the scene supporting itself is when fans help their favorite bands get back on their feet by donating money after suffering the all-too-common gear theft. Boca Raton’s Protagonist suffered a similar fate in June when $22,000 worth of gear was stolen from their trailer just outside of their hotel room, as they were about to enter the studio with Stephen Egerton (Descendents, ALL) to record a new album. In order to help one of its own, Paper + Plastick Records has established an eBay auction of 43 rare Paper + Plastick vinyl test-pressings, and will donate all proceeds to the band.

“When you’re a young band, you are scraping for everything. Any roadblocks, large or small, seem like they might be, and in some cases, can be the end of the road,” confides Paper + Plastick founder Vinnie Fiorello, who has experienced it all with his band Less Than Jake. “Having all of your gear and trailer stolen would fit in the “Uh oh we’re fucked” category of problems a band has to deal with, but in the face of that, Protagonist goes on. With no bitching, they just move forward, not defeated. This auction is my way of helping them keep moving forward.”

Fans can view the auction and place bids here: http://tinyurl.com/PnPEbay
