Inspired by pop-punk legends like NOFX and blink-182, Canadian band Sum 41 formed in 1996. They quickly made enough noise in the local underground scene to get signed to a major label deal, and after an EP in 2000, they released their Top 10 debut album, All Killer No Filler, in 2001. With their third album, Chuck, in 2004, they moved away from their early sound in favor of the heavy metal and melodic hardcore influences, and by 2011's Screaming Bloody Murder, their sound grew even darker.
