Dave:How does one write a bio for a brown white guy? Confusing all whites around him with white boy antics such as playing guitar, being a horrible basketball player, and the most accent free in the band. Dave hails from the Southern Wastelands of Ajax. Having two hardcore Guyanese parents you'd figure he would have a little more colour to his character but the only thing he inherited from them is a love for curry. He spends most of his time trying to catch up to Yngwie Malmsteens burning "guit licks" Aside from his cat Spanky pissing on his god damn laundry all the time he is a happy guy. He has been in the greatest bands such as:
A.N.D.P. Anatomy Embodiment Doors Of Draven 747 Glenn Dogg and P Real's Punk Hop Explosion Fo Yo Mind Freight Train Robbas Empty Chamber haha
Then all of a sudden he fell ass backwards into the hands of sum41. The most hated band in Ajax.

Influences:
1. Elvis Costello. My parent's turned me onto him. They're younger than most
parents because they had me when they were 17.
2. Basketball. I'm five feet tall, but I thought I was going to be in the
NBA. I was totally into it, going into special camps. When Micheal Jordan
quit, I stopped, too.
3. LL Cool J. When I was 11, I was a big fan. I started a rap group called
powerful young hustlers. There were 3 of us, with one black guy for
credibility. We were so bummed when Kris Kross came out.

Deryck: Bizzy D, grew up in a variety of different settings. Starting out in Scarborough, Canada his rep as a champion recess fighter in elementary school. That all ceased when he retired from the WRFA (world recess fighting ass) at the tender age of eleven. He then moved on to lead a simpler life in the small farming town of Keane, filled with fishing, Rod Stewart albums and barn yard orgies.
Realizing he needed more, Bizzy and his Mom picked up and moved to Ajax. Soon after Deryck bought a guitar. Then it started bands and song ideas started to flow like piss from a bed-wetter. Former bands include: Powerful Young Hustlers, Eternal Death, Chemical Head, Doors of Draven, Keanes unbeatable teens, Kaspir and Final Notice. Then of course in the summer of 96 Deryck and Steve formed SUM41.

Cone: What do you do if every Bass Player youve ever had is Greasy, Unmotivated or just a plain shit bag? You create your own! If you combine one part badass bass licks, two scoops vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle with good looks youll end up with Cone. Cone put an end to Sum41s long search for a Masterbassor in Feb. of 1999. Sick and tired of cleaning up stale popcorn and hard gummy bears at the Movie theatre where he worked, Cone decided that the road leading to rock was his destination, so he quit the movie business for a career in music. Born in 1980 in Toronto, Cone grew up surrounded by a huge selection of Satellite pornography. His Father, Porno Paul, taught him the importance of a fine Porno flick and for years Cones face was glued to the screen. By 14 years of age Cone had put down his dick long enough to pick up his first Bass, an El Degas, and since has honed his skills to become the next Geddy Lee. The roster of bands Cone had formally been a part of is short, consisting of only one, however this one band had several awful names. Names like Wizard, Lizard Tongue, Presse and the Rippers, Second Opinion, Body Dream and finally The Nights of Even Grable; A Treble Charger cover band eventually led to the bands demise. Cone then joined Sum41 and still thinks that he is the real reason Sum41 got signed because as he keeps reminding the band We did get signed right after I joined the band.
Sum 41 Facts
-Sum 41 was formed in Ajax, Ontario Canada, a suburb in Toronto.
-Guitar and vocalist Greig Nori from the band TrebleCharger discovered,
promoted and managed Sum41. He is now their manager.
As of now, they are signed onto Island Music Records.
-'Sum41' means 41 days into the summer of 96' when deryck and steve got
together and decided to start the band. It could also mean 'Statan's Unsung
Minions, and 41's the number of the beast.'
Cone adds, "We're about having fun and falling ass-backwards into a record
deal."
-A couple years back, the four teens made a video tape that combined their
melodic brand of punk rock with footage of them engaging in water-gun fights
and other shenanigans. After sending the video to labels, they were given
many offers for record deals.
-In 1999 they signed a deal with Island Records and delivered their first EP,
Half Hour of Power in 2000.
-Their sophomore CD 'All Killer No Filler' came out May 2001.
-The first single released was 'Makes No Difference'. The second was 'Fat
Lip'.
-The Makes No Difference video was aired only three times on Much Music
because it was rejected. So they filmed a new version of the video.
-Sum 41 played the Vans Warped Tour 1999 & 2000 and Summersault 2000.
-First song they ever wrote was called 'Five-0 Grind' about being hassled by
a security guard while skateboarding. The second song was 'I Love Meat.'
-The Band is known for preforming with mini trampolines, basketball nets,
unique stage anctics and dance moves.
-They play Cal Punk, Old School Hip Hop and Hard Rock & Metal. A trade in the
kind of cheerfully vulgar, rough-but-melodic guitar rock (calling it punk is
a bit of a stretch).
"I would never say we're a punk rock band," Whibley emphasizes. "I say we're
punk influenced. Punk has so much baggage- I just want to do what I want to
do. I was a punk rocker when I was fourteen, but all kids are punks."
-Album: All Killer, No Filler (Aquarius) 2001; Producer: Jerry Finn (Green
Day, Blink 182)
-Deryck got the nickname "Bizzy D" because he is always busy.
-Cone got his nickname in school from Steve and Deryck because he ate an ice cream cone every day at lunch.
-Brownsound said the following about his name: "I came out of my mom and I was brown. I make sound on my guitar."
-Deryck was previously in a band that only covered NOFX songs.
-Cone said that Stevo likes to pee on camera and watch other people pee.
-Cone also said that sometimes Deryck doesn't shower for 2 or 3 days in a row.
-Stevo doesn't have his driver's license yet.
-Deryck used to love basketball but he quit when Michael Jordan quit.
-Dave is Guyanese.
