Feels out of left field with a double album release coming up. Statement/timing also kind of feels rushed/urgent.. But very much just reading into things. Bummer.
I completely glossed over that line the first time I read the statement… that is very strange and makes it feel like there is more to it than a simple breakup.
Part of me is sad about this while another part of me is kind of meh since it's been awhile since their glory days. I've enjoyed the last few albums well enough but nothing sticks with me the way everything up until Chuck still does.
I am pretty gutted about this. Kind of a staple "i'll see them if they are in town" band. Also this announcement has made the BBC news homepage! Sum 41 to split after final album and world tour
I mean I wouldn't freak out too much. Guaranteed they will continue to play festivals and various one offs and anniversary tours after like two-three years off
I loved Does This Look Infected, Chuck and Underclass Hero. a lot I liked on Screaming Bloody Murder but could never get into anything they released after that, albeit, outside of listening once or twice to their last few albums, I never really gave them a chance. Somehow, I have never seen them live. If farewell tour comes around me, I’d definitely make a point to go.
