SUM 41: 'NEW ALBUM IS NOT POLITICAL'

SUM 41 frontman DERYCK WHIBLEY has played down suggestions their forthcoming album is political - despite a new single about the death of the President of the USA. The Canadian rockers's new song March of the Dogs contains the lyrics: "Ladies and gentlemen of the underclass/ The president of the United States of America is dead... And now the president's dead/ Because they blew off his head/ No more neck to be red/I guess to heaven he fled." But despite the explosive subject, Whibley claims the new record Underclass Hero is not controversial. He says, "Lyrically it's one of the more political songs that are on the album...I wanted to let you all know that this will not be a political record."
