The band have donw pretty well since releasing their first full length album on Mercury Records last summer. The album 'All Killer No Filler' shipped Gold and climbed the albums chart (reaching Number 19) before they even released their first single. 'All Killer No Filler', now platinum in the UK, has been hovering around the top end of the charts ever since, and now remarkably the album is poised to enter the Top 10.

SUM 41 have played two sell out shows in the UK so far (The Astoria in September and Brixton Academy in November). They are now set to play their first UK tour of the New Year in support of their new single 'Motivation' which is out on March 25th.

Comprised of four guys from Toronto, Canada the band formed when they were all still in high school. They landed their deal with Island/Def Jam in the US in 1999 and have been touring their little butts of ever since. They have played with everyone from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Offspring, Blink 182 to Social Distortion and a stint on the Warped Tour.

'Motivation' sees more of a return to their punk influenced roots. With their ever-increasing fan base now on board, it looks set to propel them chart bound for a third time.
