Canadian pop-punk veterans Sum 41 have announced they will be breaking up. The band’s 27 year run will come to an end following the release of their final album Heaven :x: Hell, and upcoming European and North American tour dates. They made the announcement today, posting this statement on social media:
“Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first.
Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we’re looking forward to releasing our final album “Heaven :x: Hell,” along with a final worldwide headlining tour to celebrate. Details will be announced as soon as we have them.
For now, we look forward to seeing all of you skumfuks on the road and are excited for what the future will bring to each of us.
Thank you for the last 27 years of Sum 41.”
Sum 41 rose to prominence in the early 2000’s with the release of their debut album All Killer No Filler. The news of their breakup comes as a surprise, as they’ve been touring extensively in recent years, and have released two new albums since guitarist Dave “Brownsound” Baksh rejoined the band in 2015.
The band’s final album Heaven :x: Hell has been teased as a Double LP with a half pop-punk / half metal-tinged punk rock tracklist. It will be the band’s eighth studio album, following 2019’s Order in Decline. We’ll keep you posted as more details are revealed.

Japanese punk veterans Hi-Standard announced the passing of founding member, drummer Akira Tsuneoka, in February. Today, the band released “I’m A Rat”, their final song recorded with Tsuneoka on drums. They don’t make any mention of it, but Fat Mike of NOFX is credited as the songwriter on Spotify and YouTube Music.
They have also been added to the lineup for Japanese music festival Satanic Carnival 2023. They won’t have a new drummer manning the throne, but will instead “have friends fill in and have them play a few songs each” on drums for this show.
Check out Hi-Standard’s absolutely killer new song “I’m A Rat” below, alongside a statement from the band on the track and their future plans.
“Hi Everyone
This may come as a surprise, but we are releasing a new song. It’s only one song, but we will be releasing it. The song is “I’m a Rat”.
This is Tsune’s last recording with Hi-STANDARD.
We recorded this song in December of 2022. This isn’t an unreleased song or a B-side, this is a new song. The song will be released digitally and will be available through various streaming services starting April 19th along with a lyric video on YouTube.
Tsune was having a blast and was on top of his game during the session. He was extremely happy with how the song turned out, so we are releasing “I’m a Rat” without hesitation.
As announced, we will be performing at Satanic Carnival 2023 as Hi-STANDARD.
We will have our friends fill in and have them play a few songs each. We thought about how this show should be presented, whether it would be a tribute show or a memorial show, but those formats did not make sense to us. In the end we decided that it would best to perform as Hi-STANDARD. We won’t be announcing the drummers, they will be introduced when they hit the stage.
We were supposed to play the show with Tsune, and we had planned on playing “I’m a Rat”. When we were asked to play Satanic Carnival, Tsune said couldn’t find a reason not to play the festival. For that reason, we will be performing as Hi-STANDARD.
The three of us had discussed the future of Hi-STANDARD and we had a vision. We had projects in the works, releasing “I’m a Rat”, and playing Satanic Carnival 2023. These were the first steps we were taking to move forward as a band.
As we were taking this first step, we lost Tsune.
Nothing would make us happier if you could listen to the song, watch the video, and remember that there was Akira Tsuneoka, the eternal drummer.
We are back to square one with our “projects in the works” after the passing of Tsune. We may not be able accomplish everything we had planned, but we will do our best to bring to life what we had envisioned.
First, we would love for you to see Hi-STANDARD at Satanic Carnival 2023.
