Last Friday, June 26th, Pierre Bouvier did an interview with the Indonesian server CreativeDisk.com. In this interview, Pierre talked about the upcoming Simple Plan album, which will apparently feature some interesting collaborations. In the middle of the interview Pierre also mentioned that after releasing the first song Saturday, the band plans to release the second song maybe even this week!
In the remaining parts of the interview, which haven’t been transcribed, Pierre also revealed that he got the idea for the song “Saturday” off the internet after seeing people use the hashtag #SaturdayNight to describe what they were doing. Regarding the topics of the new album, Pierre mentioned there would be very different themes about love, hatred, party and others. Pierre also mentioned that one of his favorite bands at the moment is Twenty One Pilots.
