DOMKcast with Deryck Whibley of Sum 41

Published: Sept. 27, 2019, 7:50 p.m.

Offering a release to the constant negative news cycle that we've been enindated with for years is crucial in keeping your sanity. It was the goal of Sum 41 to provide that release with their new album "Order In Decline". With songs like "Out For Blood" and "45", this is their loudest and aggressive album yet. Lead vocalist Deryck Whibley is the special guest on episode 113 of the DOMKcast. The band has been around since 2001 emerging onto the rock music scene with their hit "Fat Lip". They continued on and built a loyal fanbase. Deryck talked about his struggles with alcohol. He is 5 years sober-at one point was told by a doctor that if he took one more drink he might die. Deryck viewed alcohol as just a thing he did as opposed to being addicted. In terms of transitioning out of drinking on a consistent basis, he found it was basically like turning off a switch for him. He had to find a different release and put all of his energy into that. Sum 41 is celebrating the 15 year anniversary of their album "Chuck". The band will be hitting the road this fall and playing all of the songs off of that album with some of their newer stuff off of "Order In Decline" mixed in. Hear the full conversation with Deryck Whibley of the band Sum 41 on episode 113 of the DOMKcast. #DOMKRocks
