September 28, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA – Pop punk veterans Sum 41 will be performing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on October 3rd. The band will be playing a song from their upcoming album release, 13 Voices out October 7th on Hopeless Records.
The members of Sum 41 are beyond thrilled to perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Singer Deryck Whibley states, “This is a huge life goal of mine. The idea of performing on Colbert played a huge part of my recovery process in motivating me to stay on track and get better. My motor skills were completely messed up. I used to say to myself that I need to get better and release a good record, and I HAVE to play Colbert, and now it’s happening and I couldn’t be happier. I’m such a huge fan of his.” Sum 41 has previously performed on Saturday Night Live (twice), CONAN, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late show with Craig Kilborn as well as Jimmy Kimmel Live! multiple times.
The band recently released a single and music video for their singe, “War,” which is playing at CIMX, Faction, Alt Nation, KROQ, KFMA, KFRR, KITS, and more! Additionally, the new video also has over 2+ million views. Whibley states, “I feel that this song literally saved my life. I was at my absolute lowest point of what seemed like a never-ending recovery. When I was at a tipping point of falling back into drinking or staying the course of recovery, I grabbed a pencil and paper instead of a bottle and started writing. Whenever I had any thoughts of giving up, I would read these lyrics to myself over and over again. They helped remind me of what it was that I was fighting for, and that I needed to keep fighting harder. Giving up was not an option.”
The first track released from 13 Voices received critical praise for the bands triumphant return in over 5 years. The standout song “Fake My Own Death” currently has over 4.3 million views on the video. The ten-track album follows 2011’s Screaming Bloody Murder, which featured the Grammy Nominated song “Blood In My Eyes.”
Whibley began writing for 13 Voices immediately following his four-month stint in the hospital. The frontman recalls, “I had to learn how to do everything again-my motor skills, learning how to play guitar again… I couldn’t even walk at the time. It was really difficult, but at the same time if I didn’t have a record to make, I don’t think I would have recovered as quickly, or even at all. Writing music gave me a purpose.” As Whibley’s health improved, so did his ability to write songs, and 13 Voices soon began to take shape being recorded, produced and engineered by Deryck Whibley at his home in Los Angeles.
The Sum 41 fans have been coming out in overwhelming numbers to the recent live shows, with the band playing to some of the biggest crowds of their career. Most recently wrapping up their summer run on the Vans Warped Tour and touring overseas, they are looking forward to kicking off their headline tour starting October 5th in Orlando, Florida. VIP Packages are available here.
Sum 41 consists of five members including Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Dave Brownsound, co-lead guitarist/backing vocalist Tom Thacker, bassist/backing vocalist Cone McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo.
