History

The history of Simple Plan starts in the half of 90es, when the drummer Chuck Comeau and singer Pierre Bouvier were 13 years old and were in a punk-rock band, which toured the whole Canada – Reset. Reset released their first album in 1997. But next year Chuck left the band to concentrate more on his study. Later was this drummer more and more magnetized by music, till he, in 1999, started to play with his old friend from school – the guitarist Jeff Stinco. Sebastien lefebvre, another friend and guitar player joined them soon and the band was borned. The only thing, that was still missing was the singer. „We were searching,“ remembers Comeau. „We know million people, but the more we were thinking about it, the more we were Cindiny out, that we need Pierre in the band.“ Meanwhile, Pierre was unsatisfied with Reset, where he had milion duties to do. „I wanted to give i tup, go back to school and forget about music,“ said Bouvier. „But then I met Chuck one night at a Sugar ray concert in Montreal and he was like: „I have this band and we are looking for a singer.“ I went there and saw them practising and thein songs were so new and modern, so I said, that I’ll give myself one more chance.“ The guys started to create pop-punk songs – but they were still incomplete. „We thought, that something is still missing,“ said Bouvier. So, the one who joined them was David Desrosiers = singer/bassist, who replaced Pierre’s place in Reset, but then he made off, too. Since the formation, the band released these albums – the first one in 2002 – No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls, the second in 2004 – Still Not Getting Any, the third one in 2008 - Simple Plan (a self-titled album).
