Sum 41 have posted another update. The band has wrapped up their tour with The Offspring and are now back in the studio to finish their album:

Now we’re going to knuckle down and finish this album!! Deryck and I will probably start rehearsing once a week pretty soon and Cone will come down every month and we can battle about kick patterns, bass parts and guitar riffs. Hell, we’ll even bring Brown Tom so he can add a new dynamic to the creative experience – strolling around in his tighty orangies.

The band released Underclass Hero in 2007.
