Episode Description:

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.
