In Thanksgiving day spirit, for their latest article Alternative Press reached out to a number of acts and asked them which bands they are most thankful for this year.

One of these bands were the Canadian pop-punkers Seaway, who have previously supported Simple Plan on their NPNHJB tour in the US. And it’s no surprise that Simple Plan were Ryan Locke’s Seaway’s lead singer’s first band on mind, when it comes to a band he’s most grateful for.

Check out what Ryan said about SP below:

“One band that I am especially thankful for is Simple Plan. Growing up, they shaped my taste heavily and inspired me to make music. Years later, after getting to tour with them, my respect for the band grew even more after seeing how hard they work on the road and how dedicated they are to their fans. I really learned a lot from them.”

Opening bands Set It Off and Seaway say goodbye to Simple Plan

For the past month, Simpl Plan were accompanied on their NPNHJB tour in the U.S. by two stunning acts, Set It Off and Seaway, who’s task was to properly warm up the crowd before each SP set.

The tour’s final destination brought these three bands to San Diego, CA, where these bands were forced to say their goodbyes and head back home. For Set It Off, it won’t be long before they reunite with Simple Plan again, as they will be opening for them on the second part of the U.S. tour in the summer. But that definitely didn’t stop this band to share their sadness over the end of the tour with their newly aquired friends.

Cody Carson, the lead singer of Set It Off, for instance thanked SP on Twitter:

Maxx Danziger, Set It Off’s drummer, also expressed his sadness. Check out his tweet below:

Simple Plan and Set It Off got along very well throughout the whole tour. Just a week ago for example, Cody, Chady, Danny, Cowboy, Pierre and Seb went out together to play some laser tag. Check out a photo of them below:

And we cannot forget Seaway, a fellow Canadian band, who were the first to play at each date of this No Pads tour. Seaway also tweeted out thanks to both of the bands, and from a picture of Seaway and Set It off together [check it out here], we can tell some of the band members also picked up some of the Role Model t-shirts that were available at Simple Plan’s merch table.

Simple Plan announce opening bands for Canadian tour: Plain White T’s, Set It Off and Seaway

Despite the earlier rumors of different possible opening bands for the Canadian tour, Simple Plan just officially announced the full line-up of this Taking One For The Team tour in their homeland. The band will be joined by the same bands as on the U.S. NPNHJB tour – Set If Off and Seaway – and to make this tour even more special, the guys will be bringing also their old friends Plain White T’s!

But read carefully – you won’t be able to see all four bands share one stage! While Set It Off will perform at each of the 4 tourdates, Seaway will perform only at the first date in London, Plain White T’s will then replace Seaway and perform in Quebec City, Toronto and Montreal.

SP and Plain White T’s have quite a long history together. Back in 2005, the bands toured together in the U.S., Pierre named his dog Delilah after one of PWT’s most popular songs ‘Hey There Delilah’, they also got to catch up a couple times over the years and most importantly, the lead singer of Plain White T’s Tom Higgenson co-wrote the song ‘Perfectly Perfect’ with Pierre and Chuck.

Will be get to hear Tom on stage with SP again in March and possibly sing ‘Perfectly Perfect’ together? We shall see!

Opening bands for NPNHJB tour Set It Off and Seaway stoked to tour with Simple Plan

Just about a week ago, Simple Plan announced the first leg of their 15th anniversary No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls tour in the United States, where Simple Plan are once again bringing not just one, but two opening bands – Set It Off and Seaway.

And it looks like our boys are in for some very good and fun touring buddies!

The guys from Set It Off, currently a four-piece pop-punk band from Florida, recently filmed a Q&A with questions submitted by their fans on Twitter. In one of the questions, answered by the band’s lead guitarist Dan Clermont, a fan asked the band about how they felt when they learned they would be touring with Simple Plan.

Check out Dan’s answer below:

Q: Were you shocked in any way to be invited to tour with [Simple Plan] or has shock just kind of moot at this point?

Dan Clermont (Set It Off): We were pretty… I wouldn’t say shocked, but it was like a surprising offer to come around. We’ve done Warped Tour with them a couple times in the past, but it’s only been like a few dates here and there, so we’ve never really had a lot of time to hang out and really get to know each other. So we were really excited that they wanted to take us out on tour. For their 15th anniversary tour. It’s pretty insane that we’re gonna be there to celebrate that with them. So we’re pretty pumped.

And we definitely can’t forget about the second opening band either – the pop-punkers Seaway from Canada – who were very witty in their reaction to the tour announcement, when they tweeted the following picture of the band members and in a reference to the title of Simple Plan’s debut album, they asked: “Yo Simple Plan, jis it cool if we bring our pads and helmets on tour?”
