About this episode

We kick off the very first episode of Pop-Punk Book Club with a bang: Does This Look Infected? by Sum 41. But most importantly, we’re joined by Stevo32 himself to walk through the album track by track… while we brace ourselves to tell him exactly what we really think of it.

If you’re Still Waiting to hit play, ask yourself—do you have No Brains? Because you’d have to, to not click play. I’ll tell you where the button is to make it easy for you: if I was standing underneath it, it’d be Over My Head. That would be My Direction I would tell you. If you have read this far and don’t press play, then Thanks For Nothing. But hopefully I’ve given you A.N.I.C. (‘A New Intent to Click’ — not the official meaning, though, but it is needed here). I’d try to squeeze in Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condrioid into this paragraph, but I don’t even know what that means. But we ask Stevo if he knows. Find out if he does on today’s episode.

Also in this episode:

Stevo32 shares hilarious stories about living in Australia, opens up about how he first got into drumming, talks about quitting the band and moving into real estate and how his passion for jazz drumming has reshaped his musical journey. Plus, he drops some rare insights and reflections on Does This Look Infected?, Pain for Pleasure, All Killer No Filler, Half Hour of Power and touring that Sum 41 fans may have never heard before.
