New SP song in February & more spilled beans from Pierre & Chuck’s livestream

by Dominika | Jan 13th, 2022 | 1 comment

Our favorite song-writing duo, Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau got together via Instagram live chat on Thursday, where they not only answered a bunch of fans’ questions but also spilled some amazing beans while doing so.

The main information we got from the livechat was that there is a brand new Simple Plan song coming out next month – in February. According to Pierre, “it’s a special one”.

“We’re gonna put out some new music soon. It’s coming soon. For real.. […] One way we’re adaption to this and also to the new reality on the music world and how things are going is that we’re releasing music in a different way. It’s gonna be more like song by song, maybe a little bit […] than we’ve done in the past. But I think that’s kind of cool. We’re just trying to make this work. Cause we’re not able to go out there and tour and do interviews as much and do everything. We’re trying to find new ways for people to pay attention to the songs and the album, so we’re experimenting with different ways of doing that. But the next step is a new song and that’s coming next month.”

The boys also mentioned that the new album will definitely be released on vinyl and the band is also currently looking at some other vinyl related things – according to Chuck, there should be some sort of vinyl coming up related to the 20th anniversary of Simple Plan’s first album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’, which is coming up in March.

Check out a clip of Chuck and Pierre discussing the new song and the vinyls in the livestream below:

Chuck also revealed in the chat that the band has also already shot their album cover photoshoot and just finalized the final look of the album cover in the past few days (again by Simple Plan’s head graphic designer – Fred Jerome). The album cover concept was once again put together by Chuck and the photos were taken by their favorite band photographer Chapman Baehler (who also did the photoshoots for Still Not Getting Any or Taking One For The Team).

Another thing discussed was the upcoming Canadian tour with The Offspring, which a lot of fans have been asking about, due to all the covid restrictions that are currently being put in place in the country. It is currentl unclear whether the tour will be able to be held in a couple weeks, but the band is still looking at their options and will be publishing an update either this week or early next week.

And finally, during the livechat, Pierre also surprised Chuck by telling everyone him and his family are actually currently recovering from COVID-19. All of them are doing well. You can listen to him talking about it here:

by Dominika | Dec 3rd, 2021 | no comments

It didn’t take long and the guys from Simple Plan were at it last night again, performing for a bunch of lucky people at the Bourbon Room Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. The main goal of this “secret” or “private” show was to pre-record a “livestream” with Mola Chills, which is set to are around the 22th December.

In the crowd one could spot a number of influencers and tiktokers as well as a number of Simple Plan fans who got to be there because of Simple Plan’s message on Instagram asking for their (vaccinated) fans to attend this event if they’re around the area at that time. As opposed to the filming of the music video for The Antidote, the attendees didn’t have to sign any NDA this time around, so we’re bringing you a bunch of photos from the show in our gallery as well as the full setlist. As you can see, this was the first time Simple Plan performed The Antidote live all together in front of a crowd:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. Shut Up!
3. Addicted
4. Boom!
5. Your Love Is A Lie
6. Welcome To My Life
7. Jet Lag
8. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
9. The Antidote
10. Crazy
11. Where I Belong
12. Summer Paradise
13. What’s New Scooby Doo?
14. I’m Just A Kid
15. Perfect
