Frank Zummo

Frank Zummo is in one of those rare chapters artists don’t plan for, but earn.

Two years after his last appearance, the Sum 41 drummer returns to Spout fresh off a world farewell tour, the release of his debut book Unbreakable Rhythm, and a new era with Electric Callboy—all while redefining what longevity, wellness, and purpose look like in modern music.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Frank opens up about:

• Writing Unbreakable Rhythm: My Journey Through Music, Wellness & Mental Strength and why this wasn’t a typical rock memoir

• How School of Rock workshops unexpectedly turned into life-changing mental health conversations with kids and families

• Playing an NFL stadium with students, raising money for teen suicide prevention, and turning music into impact

• Filling in for Tommy Lee, closing out Sum 41, and why there was never a “Plan B”

• Joining Electric Callboy, covering “Still Waiting,” and navigating the fear of “what’s next” after a band ends

• Creating a soundtrack EP tied to the book—with artwork designed by his own kids

• Touring, fatherhood, wellness routines, and building a career meant to last decades, not burn out

If you care about music, longevity, mental health, or building a life that actually sustains the work—you’ll want this one.

🎧 Unbreakable Rhythm is available now in print, audiobook (narrated by Frank), and digital.
