I thought it was awesome, really. Way to go out with a, "Bang". Though, if the record isn't done, i think the announcement should be changed.

Tour starts tomorrow, so i guess they're actually done with everything.

I think vocals are still left to do, thats why they set up all that equipment in Deryck's home studio in one of the updates.. I mean, they are done at the Perfect Sound studio, but nothing was said about the vocals so I guess Deryck will do the vocals at home.

And the tour doesn't start tomorrow, they have only like 2 dates now in the US, then the European tour starts in April I think.

Ah, so just 2 quick shows to knock off some rust? Then it's vocal time? Im confused.

Yeah, vocals aren't done yet. I'd guess Deryck has done half of the vocals 'cause he already did them for a week or so.

Yeah, it was same with the UH, that Deryck recorded the vocals in his home studio.
I don't know, maybe he likes to record them all by himself without any distraction by other people?

That would be smart considering the distractions he had at the Perfect Sound there when he recorded guitars with all of his friends and the drinking and stuff haha.

all the drinking isn't gonna do is voice any good, and when you're trying to record vocals the last thing you want is a croaky voice!

Probably better to do vocals in private.

That how i'd like to do them.

GUEST BLOG: SUM 41 drummer Stevo Jocz

"We're very excited to be here for SXSW! This is our first time playing and we're looking forward to getting drunk and stumbling around the streets of this fine capitol city. An inebriated friend of ours has already fallen down and sprained her right boob, so it sounds like the festival is off to a great start.

Friday we're playing at Maggie Mae's around midnight. We just got back to the hotel from rehearsing at the Music Lab here in Austin. I didn't really focus on practicing any songs but spent most of the time working on kickass "rock faces" for tomorrow's show. This one is sure to create a hurricane of brassieres raining down onto the stage:

I love this man!

Steve rocks, whats the source for that Jake?

btw why does the SXSW site have Sum41 as Rock but Grass Widow, Viv Albertine and other not punk acts as punk?

I think Sum 41 is more of a rock band than a punk band anyway. They have punk roots, but their style is different on every album.

It could also be that whoever wrote the genres down just doesn't care. iTunes really generalizes music too.

^^ haha, guess Dan took that, Cone's faces are always crazy

is the pic from Twitter?

DAY 2 - I don't know why, but for some reason, I thought this was the best way to start off the day yesterday:

I am truly terrified to see how it comes out the other end.


After that calorie bomb, Cone [Jason McCaslin, bass] and I hit the hotel gym to try and clear up any clogged arteries. I'm listening to Metallica and I can only imagine that Cone is rocking out to the new Justin Bieber record. I hear it's awesome.


Deryck [Whibley, vocals/guitar] and I went out and did some interviews after. The first one was with Delta Airlines. They were really cool, but charged us for drinks and wouldn't give Deryck a pillow (the one with the "D" in the background as per Airline policy). I don't know what I'm saying in that photo, but I'm sure it was profound shit.


The next interview was with Best Buy, and it was pretty awesome because they gave us Vodka (which I'm sure has something to do with why this blog is a day late).


Afterwards, we hit 6th Street and I got my first taste of SXSW. I got to meet the devil. I love his work.


Don't mess with... Canada? (That doesn't really have the same ring to it.)


We even got to help GWAR promote their show.

The show we played at Maggie Mae's was badass. I don't have any pictures because I was busy rockin'. But if Metallica, Iron Maiden and AC/DC had a baby, it would be about as wicked as our performance last night.

EDIT: Just realized this wasen't the SXSW thread. But at the same time, it still kind of applies. SO i'll do both.

Although, I don't think the SXSW stuff has anything to do with the new album unless there's an audio or video of that interview somewhere.

Yeaahhh, delete it.

I don't care. Delete this one too. :D
