“Coincidence. Kizmet. Destiny. And so it was that a casual conversation between the members of Sum 41 and Yellowcard led to the discovery that both bands would be in Australia to launch their respective new albums at the same time. Within minutes plans were hatched to join forces and put on a couple of shows Australian fans are unlikely to forget.”
After a year of musical hibernation, Canadian multi-platinum pop/punks Sum 41 will return with a brand new album, ?Underclass Hero?. When asked about the highly anticipated ?Underclass Hero? album Whibley said, ?I asked myself all these questions and then just pulled up my own answers and started writing songs based on those themes. I wanted to make an album that meant something important from beginning to end. It’s a deeply personal statement that reflects the confusion and frustration in modern society.”
Yellowcard too have produced an album worthy of their reputation for “songwriting excellence” in ?Paper Walls?, hot on the heels of last years ?Lights and Sounds?, and is set to be released July 21, 2007.
