Why did they choose the name Sum 41?

Why did they choose the name Sum 41?

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be […]

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s the Canadian punk band so many of you love to hate, Sum 41.

Originally a NOFX cover band, the group we now know as Sum 41 began their humble beginnings under the moniker “Kaspir”.  When the band began to take things seriously, however, they decided to change their name for a Supernova show on September 28, 1996, which happened to be the 41st day of summer.  Eh?…  Eh?…  41… days into… Sum…mer.  Boom!  Band name is born!

  1. Cool, thanks! 41st day of summer!:D

Melbourne hardcore band, Lovers Grave, are all set to release their debut EP.  Titled, DEADCITY, the six track EP will be available for purchase on August 6th through STOMP.  You can check out the artwork over there <- and click here for the track-list.  Frontman, Dillon, had this to say about the release:

I like to think there is some humility in DEADCITY, it’s a personal record, we didn’t just one day, halfway through writing go, “ok, it’s going to be personal now”, we set out to write something honest to us that we, and hopefully whoever listens to the record, can feel and not just acknowledge”.

If you like what you’ve heard, head over to their MySpace page to give A Night In Paris a listen.
