Today, we commemorate the 9th anniversary of the release date of the first ever Simple Plan album – No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls!

This album, which became platinum two times in the United States and brought a huge success to Simple Plan, was released for the first time on March 19th 2002. Four singles in total came out of this record: I’m Just A Kid, I’d Do Anything, Addicted and Perfect. NPNHJB (as fans like to shorten the name of this album) is the only Simple Plan’s album that includes notable collaborations with other artists – particularly it’s Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) in the song I’d Do Anything (he also appeared in the music video) and Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) in the song You Don’t Mean Anything.

It may sound a bit unbelievable, but today it’s exactly 8 years since the release of the Simple Plan’s debut album – “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls.”
