Anyways, I didn't even bother googling 'the guy from Sum 41's name' because [...]

His latest effort tackles a track which is near and dear to me, “Fat Lip” by Sum 41 . In my opinion, nothing embodies early 2000’s punk rock like “Fat Lip” and Acetronik’s remix is nothing short of spectacular. Acetronik flips [...]
