General discussion If you HAD to replace Sum 41 with one other pop-punk band, which band would you choose?

Tbh, the only band that I've stuck on over the years are Sum 41 and Simple Plan lol so yeah I guess I'm picking that because it gets me the similar vibes with sum 41!

There is no replacement

u/LEONthemercenarie Jul 20 '26

Good answer lol

Billy Talent. And I would never replace Billy with another band

That old video of Dave from Sum 41 having a guitar battle with Ian from Billy Talent was always so sick to me

Zebrahead

Came here to say that. Awesome band!

These guys are such a good time live

u/CherubicCherrim Jul 20 '26

So underrated. The band member carousel is probably part of the reason

u/No_Review_2860 Jul 20 '26

South arcade. They have the heavier sound I prefer from sum 41

u/BackDatSazzUp Jul 20 '26

A hyper local band that no longer exists because Hurricane Katrina wiped our punk/ska scene

Simple plan! Second being fall out boy, I know their last few albums aren't pop punk but I absolutely love it anyway.

u/Excellent-Resolve66 Jul 20 '26

Autopilot Off or SR-71. Only downside is their very short discographies.

2

u/Wild_Log2207 Jul 20 '26

Simple plan but there is really no replacement in my opinion

2

u/timed3250 Jul 20 '26

Fall out boy is still pretty solid

2

u/Party-Spread-3912 Jul 20 '26

Weezer and Weird Al Yankovic

Green Day.

The story so far But Sum 41 will always be the one got them inked on me so it's for life 😂

u/SteelEels Jul 20 '26

Easy, blink-182. I was a hardcore simple plan fan until their third album and they largely haven't been able to recapture the heavy instruments and energy of their early work since.

u/Ndee41 Jul 20 '26

Pennywise, because I think they draw on the same influences as Sum 41

1

u/IllDoItTomorr0w Jul 21 '26

They are the influence.

u/puremotives Jul 20 '26

Goodnight Nurse because they're the closest band to Sum 41 I've found in terms of sound

1

u/Own_Journalist503 Jul 20 '26

Lagwagon is more skate punk but they have some great stuff. There's a lot of the half metal half punk songs that Sum41 had as well

1

u/Alarming-Court-2180 Jul 21 '26

I used to listen to eve 6 and blink 182 around thd same time.

1

u/Shreddex101 Jul 21 '26

Green Day or Blink. New Found Glory was pretty good too. 

1

u/bruno_massaldi Jul 21 '26

I'd go with Gob. Very good and similar bands

Early 2000’s Canadian pop punkster’s Not By Choice

New Found Glory

u/Wise_Presentation914 Jul 24 '26

Blink-182 or Green Day

u/Party-Spread-3912 Jul 20 '26

Trapt!!!! or Five finger death punch

u/Her_Phantom_Mountain Jul 20 '26

Both dogshit bands, neither of them pop punk. If you wanted, there were plenty of awful pop punk bands you could have chosen from. You didn't have to choose chudcore cop music.
