Here’s A Reminder Of Just How Kickass Sum 41′s ‘Does The Look Infected?’ Is Thanks To Seaway’s Ken Taylor

15 years ago there’s a pretty good chance you watched a life-changing music video (whether on MTV2, Fuse, or Yahoo!) by an up-and-coming pop-punk band out of Canada. That video, featuring anarchy barbie dolls and various pop culture action figures, was for Sum 41′s massive 2002 single “The Hell Song.”

Speaking as a bunch of former angsty teens who completely worshiped that video at the time, “The Hell Song” served as less of a soundtrack for our middle school days and more of inside look into the chaos that circulated throughout our juvenile brains on a day-to-day basis. Needless to say, Sum 41 spoke to us in a major way back in 2002.

Assuming a similar experience took place for many of you reading this, we’d like to think – like us – you completely lost your mind when you saw Sum 41 announced a 15-year anniversary tour for their sophomore LP Does This Look Infected?. Not only will the band be playing all the hits (”Over My Head,” “Still Waiting”) but they’ll also be ripping into some fan-favorite deep cuts like “My Direction” and “A.D.I.C” with original members Deryck Whibley, Dave “Brown Sound” Baksh and Cone McCaslin as well as drummer Frank Zummo and guitarist Tom Thacker.

Now, to get you guys even more excited and prepared for the upcoming 21-date tour, we reached out to Sum 41′s tourmates and fellow Canadian act Seaway (specifically drummer Ken Taylor) to help refresh your memory on just how kickass Does This Look Infected? really is.

Walking you through track by track, Taylor (being the huge Sum 41 fan he is) will help you remember exactly why you fell in love with one of Sum 41′s biggest records. To check out Taylor’s in-depth recap of Does This Look Infected? be sure to look below. Afterward, make sure to pick up tickets to see Sum 41 and Seaway out on tour together alongside Super Whatevr here.

“Behind the wheel and the gauge is rising. No tread and the brakes are shot, that’s it. I’ll get it fixed in another life, but now the ground’s above me, and my vision starts to cloud. At least the radio’s still playing, but my song is fading out. Scatter my ashes along the coast, or don’t. I don’t even care.”
