Last year, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley published an autobiography. In that book, Whibley stated that former manager Greg Nori sexually abused him over a period of years. Earlier this month, documents filed by Nori's attorney in Ontario Superior Court revealed Nori is suing Whibley for defamation. Nori is asking for $6 million in damages. He also alleges that Whibley started the relationship. Whibley has filed a counterclaim and has demanded $3 million, also based on a defamation theory.Nori previously stated: ""The accusation that I pressured Whibley to continue the relationship is false. The accusation that I pressured Whibley to continue the relationship by accusing him of homophobia is false. Ultimately the relationship simply faded out. Consensually. Our business relationship continued."At that time, Whibley responded: "It’s come to my attention that Greig Nori has now called me a liar. I’ll tell you right now, I stand behind every word that’s in my book, 100 per cent," Whibley said in a video that was shared widely on social media. “I’m not a liar, and I’m going to speak to you directly, Greig Nori: If you think I’m a liar, there’s only one way to settle this — under oath. In front of a judge, in front of a jury. Anytime you want. I’m ready whenever you are.”

We are pleased to debut the new tune by Japan's Your Pest Band! "We'll get crossed" is big, melodic, and hazy. The band rushes forward with a jolted up drive while dropping shimmering vocals over top of the warm hue. It's kind of like if Jesus and Mary Chain became a power pop band. There is also a very cool guitar solo. That's off the Blaze by me album out now. Oh, and the band is going on a USA tour! You can pick up the new album right here and you can check out the new tune below, right now!
