We’ve already known for a while that Pierre and Chuck have been collaborating with the guys from the US band MKTO on some music but it has only now been announced that it is not in fact MKTO’s music that the band members have been working on – but yet another version of Simple Plan’s Summer Paradise – this time featuring MKTO and made specially for Simple Plan’s US fans!

You can check out the cover of this new single in the gallery and listen to the song on Buzznet.com.

The single of the MKTO version of Summer Paradise will be out on iTunes on May 28th.

We still have to wait on a confirmation if the music video that Pierre and Chuck recently filmed with MKTO in California is indeed for Summer Paradise – but so far it looks like it could really be it!

To check out all the previous versions of Summer Paradise – feat. K’Naan, Sean Paul and Taka, make sure to visit this section on SimplePlan.cz. Which version is your favourite now?

Update: The lyrics to this version of Summer Paradise are now available in SimplePlan.cz’s Lyrics center.

While Jeff and Chuck were busy attending the C2MTL conference yesterday, Sebastien had another place to be last night: Seb along with his brother Jay were one of the guests at the release party of the new album “Si tel est ton désir” by Jean-Marc Couture, the 2012 winner of the singing competition Star Académie. The release party took place at l’Olympia, in Montreal, Canada.

Simple Plan’s drummer Chuck Comeau attended this year’s edition of C2MTL, an annual media and business conference in Montreal, where he was a part of the panel entitled “The Beat Goes On”, hosted by Mitch Joel. The discussion was mostly revolving around the music industry and its business side. Bellow you can check out a couple of direct quotes from Chuck from this conference:

“The future of music – whatever it holds – should ensure real focus on the fans.”

“We are working hard to make Simple Plan the most accessible band in the world throughout social media.”

“People are now so passionate about music – it becomes an accessible source of identity construction.”

And while I’m sure we’ll be getting a handful of much better pictures (and hopefully also videos) in the upcoming days, here you can check out some of the first pictures from Chuck’s appearance at this conference:
