Sum 41 September 9, 2007

Following a path trod by The Offspring, Blink-182 and others, the Canadian band Sum 41 features a mighty guitar section, some hardcore rock elements and a bit of hip-hop thrown in to complete its rising pop-punk style. Formed in 1997, Yellowcard have built their following the old fashioned way; playing all-ages punk nights, rock dives, school events, suburban VFW halls, living rooms, back yards and any other places, averaging over 200 nights a year. The Ventura-based punk quintet's major label debut is 'Ocean Avenue.'
