Sum 41 Release Two Swan Song Spotify Singles Ahead of Final Performance at 2025 Junos

Sum 41 are making some final noise before they call it day.

The Canadian pop-punk icons have released two Spotify singles ahead of their final broadcast performance at the 2025 Junos this Sunday, March 30.

The singles include a stripped back version of "Landmines," the No. 1 Alternative Airplay hit off of last year's Heaven :x: Hell, and a cover of Rage Against The Machine's "Sleep Now In The Fire."

Both versions have a sense of finality to them. The acoustic guitar on "Landmines" allows Deryck Whibley's vocal to shine through, bringing out a melancholy element in a song about a long, exhausting journey.

"Sleep Now In The Fire," meanwhile, is a song about political violence and greed, making reference to Christopher Columbus' conquest and the American bombing of Hiroshima. It serves as a rowdy final statement from the Canadian band amidst U.S. aggression towards Canada, capturing some of their trademark scrappiness nearly three decades in.

The band are going out on a high, with a world tour, a new chart record, and an acclaimed final album. They'll be inducted to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the Junos in Vancouver this weekend, and a new exhibit celebrating the band has simultaneously opened at the National Music Centre in Calgary.

“There's a story there, and I'm proud of the whole story,” Whibley told Billboard Canada for the band's digital cover story. “It's a validation of everything we've been working for, from playing in the basement as teenagers to now – here we are. We’ve gone through all the ups and downs, sticking through it all and getting to a point where we could write our own ending the way we wanted to."
