European festival interviews with Simple Plan

When on tour in Europe in the past few weeks, the members of Simple Plan gave a number of interviews to local media channels. Now, you’ve already seen the SimplePlan.cz interview, but let’s have a look at some of the other interviews that have already been released on YouTube and which you may have missed.

On Saturday, June 10th, Simple Plan attended the Download festival in the UK, where The Pit got ahold of Chuck and Seb for a short interview, in which the two members of the band discussed why their band has a way to connect with a crowd even at heavier festivals like Download and how the pop-punk genre can still be relevant today:

As you can guess from the setting of it, the second interview comes from Prague – from the Aerodrome Festival – where Jeff Stinco got interviewed by the Evropa 2 radio station. Check it out below:

Last Friday, the biggest commercial Czech radio station – Evropa 2 – aired their new interview with Jeff Stinco from Simple Plan. In this interview, Jeff discussed the current NPNHJB tour in the U.S., his taste in movies and most of all the band’s upcoming trip to Europe, where apart from the NPNHJB tour, they will also play at a couple of festivals, including the Aerodrome Festival in the Czech Republic.

During his speech about the Czech Republic, Jeff also mentioned how SimplePlan.cz is one of the reasons Simple Plan have one of the biggest fanbases in Europe in this country and how he himself likes to check out the website – even for his own schedule.

You can read up on the part about SimplePlan.cz in the transcription below and listen to the full interview on Evropa 2 here. Thanks again, Jeff! :)

“(…) And then we’re going to Europe. In Czech Republic especially, you know, we have… there’s many reasons for that.. we have a crazy fanbase in the Czech Republic. We’ve always had amazing shows, they’re probably the biggest shows we’ve had in all of Europe and I think it has something to do with the fact that we have a website.. a fan website in the Czech Republic that basically knows more about this band than I know myself! I actually check out the website to know my schedule ahead of the time.”

[Interviewer: It’s a bit scary, isn’t it?]

*(laughs)* “It’s a bit scary. I don’t know how she does it. I really don’t know.”

‘Saturday’ #6 on Czech ‘Evropa 2’ radio’s chart!

Interestingly enough, even though Simple Plan’s song ‘Saturday’ will not be featured on their upcoming fifth studio album, and has not been promoted as a single, some radio stations decided to put it in their rotation.

What’s even more surprising is that despite the initial rather negative responses to this song, it seems to be doing really well on the ‘Evropa 2’ [Europe 2] radio station in the Czech Republic, where ‘Saturday’ currently holds position number 6 at the Evropa 2 Music Chart (big thanks to Aneta for the info)! This is very important especially since Evropa 2’s frequencies cover almost all of Czech Republic and therefore can be listened to from anywhere in the country. It is one of the most popular radio stations in the CR.

‘Saturday’ managed to surpass songs such as Pharell William’s ‘Freedom’ or Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Run Away With Me’. You can help Simple Plan keep this position and even put them all the way to the top of the chart by voting here [just click on the ‘vote’ button (next to the ‘play’ button) on the right side of the song’s title].
