"His punk street cred was destroyed after his arrest in a drug bust and it was discovered the stuff he’d been sniffing was actually a Beecham’s Powder some crook had sold him for £40. Although it has to be said he never caught a cold all that winter. "Mr Simpson’s last attempt at fame was his most bizarre.

They returned in 2000 with the fun-filled full-length All Killer No Filler and the singles “In Too Deep” and “Fat Lip” became staples of both modern rock radio and Total Request Live. An extensive tour followed and Sum 41 enjoyed their boffo success the way all near-teenage boys would with plenty of towel-snapping groupie-loving and self-depreciating low-ball humor. In 2002 they returned to wax with Does This Look Infected? While the album was a bit harder-edged it found the band just as jazzed as ever to mix punk-pop business with sophomoric pleasure: the video for “Hell Song” featured the fellas acting out a sort of rock star debauchery cage match with the aid of a few celebrity action figures. Not all fun and games however their involvement in the charity group War Child Canada had Sum 41 lending a hand in the making of a 2004 documentary covering the effects of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Five days into filming fighting and gunfire suddenly erupted around them and they barely escaped unharmed — these events led to 2004′s slightly more mature and serious effort Chuck named for the UN aid worker Chuck Pelletier who was instrumental in getting them to safety… The DVD Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo was released at the end of 2005 and the live album Go Chuck Yourself appeared the following March. Guitarist Dave Baksh left the band during the spring of 2006 due to creative differences going on to form the metal-punk outfit Brown Brigade. Sum 41 continued on as a trio and their first album as such Underclass Hero appeared in July 2007. ~ Johnny Loftus All Music Guide.

Dissident Voice – Aug 20, 2007
DC is also the city that has produced beautiful and incendiary music. Duke Ellington was born here and played his first shows in the city. This is the home of Marvin Gaye and of Go-go music. And in the eighties DC became an epicenter for the hardcore punk movement and the experimentations that evolved from it. Fugazi was one of the bands that defined this ?post-hardcore? experiment and went well beyond anything such a label might have meant. For Friedman Fugazi are an absolute passion. His photo-book Keep Your Eyes Open is a striking chronicle of the band?s existence over fifteen years of playing and recording.
