On May 7th 2021, American singer-songwriter, 18-year-old Chloe Moriondo, who has a following of over 3 million users on her music YouTube channel, dropped her second studio album ‘Blood Bunny’.

In the process of creating this 13-track album, which could be described as a mixture of indie pop and bedroom pop, the talented artist drew inspiration from many artists that she grew up listening to and that have shaped her teenagehood. There’s no wonder, a song called ‘Favorite Band’ appears on the album as track no. 9, which gives pays homage to a bunch of artists that have influenced her, namely Simple Plan, All Time Low or Paramore.

Simple Plan in particular made it to the song’s chorus, which goes:

I wish I liked you as much as I like my favorite band
It’s not your fault, it’s mine, I’m just a kid like Simple Plan
And in the morning you could drive me home, put on your playlist
I just don’t like you as much as I like my favorite band

Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan already noticed the song and the nice little reference to his band in the chorus and reposted the song on his Instagram yesterday, adding:

“This came out today. Thank you for the amazing music and the rad shoutout, Chloe! Go check it out.”

Members of Simple Plan reflect on Paramore’s debut album’s 10th anniversary

Tomorrow, on June 26th, it will be exactly 10 years since the release of Paramore’s debut album “All We Know Is Falling” (2005), the album that the – now Grammy winning – band kicked off their career with. To commemorate one of the most important albums of pop-punk history, Fuse.tv interviewed a number of artists, who shared their memories of this album and the beginnings of Paramore.

And as Simple Plan were a band who took Paramore as their opening band on one of their first tours, it was a given that they had to be featured in this article. Check out what the band members had to say about Paramore:

David: We were the first band to take them on tour!

Chuck: It was 2004. We had a call from Lyor Cohen, he was the president of Atlantic Records. He was like, “Hey, we have this young band that are coming up. Would you do us a favor and take them on tour? They’re called Paramore.” We had never really heard of them—they were just signed, never really toured before. They sent us some songs and we were like, “This sounds great, we’d love to take them out.” They were 16.

David: I remember the drummer coming up to me like, “Hey, do you want to tune my drums?” because I love drums a lot. He was so awesome. He was already killing it on the drums and he was 15. It was great. Once they had some people from MTV come to a show and the bass player asked me to use my wireless because they had cables but they wanted to do that spin that the bass player was doing off the guitar player’s back. I let him use my wireless so he could do the spin properly.

Chuck: That record came out a few months after that tour and I think our fans—all the Simple Plan fans are open-minded and love to hear new music and new bands. Right after that we took the Plain White T’s right before they had their big break so that was cool.

David: We break a lot of bands. Hayley was already such a great performer, even then.

Chuck: All of them. When they played, fans responded. They got their first fans off playing live. Just like us, when we played our first shows opening for Sugar Ray, they were in the same position. The label went to Sugar Ray and asked them a favor…then we opened up for the Bosstones because we could play live. If you can pull off the songs, kids will say “Who’s that band? What’s their record? I want buy that shirt.” That’s how it’s organically done.

FLASHBACK: David on stage with Paramore (2005)

Back in fall 2005, Simple Plan toured the United States and tagged a pretty small (at-the-time) band from Tennessee along with them. That band was called Paramore – at the time consisted of teenagers, now one of the biggest bands out there.

During the tour, as you can read from Hayley’s quote about SP, David befriended the band and helped them gain a lot more self-confidence. Every night he also performed with Paramore on stage during their song “Whoa!” (as you can see on the video here). I managed to find quite a lot of old pictures of David performing with Paramore at a couple of the US dates, which you can now all check out in the gallery:
