Over the past week, Simple Plan have slowly begun posting a bunch of very random photoshoots of their band members, which seem to be tied to the concept of their upcoming 6th studio album. These images all seemed to revolving around the topic of different type of work or occupations.
So far, Simple Plan have posted these photos of Sebastien (who is pictured slagging off, eating a donut in an office workspace) and Pierre (who is pictured as a construction worker) – you can find them all in our gallery. The band’s Instagram profile accompanied these images with descriptions such as “hard at work” or “can’t rush a genius”.
The title of the album is unknown yet but we’re more than certain that these images will be the key to it eventually. Can you already guess what play on words will the boys choose this time around?
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:
With the recent release of Simple Plan’s brand new single, lots of new promotional photos for their upcoming album, which we should be expecting in early 2022 (according to Idobi radio), have been released to help promote the new single and the upcoming record as well.
The main photographers of this photoshoot are both women: the talented Ellenor Argyropoulos & Jordan Kelsey Knight recently took the photos of the guys when they were in California and you can now check out some of them in our gallery below:
Given David has been absent from touring for most of 2017, it is very rare to find new photos of the whole band with all five original members present from last year. Luckily, the guys still keep some of these rare treasures locked away and release some of them every once in a while.
Recently, Simple Plan published the following two photos, which were assumingly taken in 2017 by their photographer Chady Awad, probably sometime in spring. Check them out in our gallery in its full size:
It wouldn’t be a proper tour, if Simple Plan’s tour photographer Chady Awad didn’t find the time to take the guys aside and organize a couple of spontaneous photoshoots of the members of SP during the course of the tour.
