Simple Plan return to the studio to record final songs for 6th album

Starting this weekend, the members of Simple Plan are back in Los Angeles, CA, where they started recording their upcoming 6th studio album last summer, and which is where they are now continuing to finish the job with a couple more studio sessions. The plan is to finish the last 4 songs before the entire album is officially complete – and all that by the beginning of February, when they’re heading back on tour.

Jeff already shared his excitement over being back to business on Instagram by announcing that all Seb’s parts have now been finished. Check out what he wrote:

“We’re back in the studio to complete album 6. Sebastien finished his parts already and he killed it. He sounds soooo good! I’m up next. I’m already thinking about how to annoy the guys with wall to wall shreddy guitars all over the tracks… In all seriousness, these are some very good songs and I’m proud to be working on them. Can’t wait to share…”

Simple Plan return to studio to work with producer Zakk Cervini

After a couple weeks away from the recording studio, during which the members of Simple Plan had the time to come back on stage to rock out at a number of festivals, attend a few charity events and also spend some time with their families, the boys finally got back together this week and all five of them returned to Los Angeles to continue recording their 6th studio album.

The band confirmed their return to the studio in a number of Instagram posts. In two of them, Jeff even discussed the current recording process, in which he also revealed that the band is currently working with producer/mixer Zakk Cervini. Zakk is known for recently having produced for a number of bands and artists including Waterparks, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Simple Creatures, All Time Low, State Champs or 5 Seconds Of Summer. As of right now, it is unknown whether Zakk will be producing the entire new Simple Plan album or whether he will be involved only with certain songs.

Check out what Jeff said about Zakk and the last few days of recording album no. 6:

“Back in the studio working on new music. Yesterday, I found myself head banging, smiling, nerding on my guitar toys, digging for little hooks just like I did when I played guitar in my room as a teenager…The vibes are good, the music is amazing and the band is one again. I can’t stop listening back to the song we finished yesterday. This morning, I cranked it up while shaving: I was so absorbed that I cut myself (just a nick, don’t worry)…oddly enough, that’s a good thing!”
“We’re moving along quickly on those new songs. Even if yesterday, Pierre and I dug for hours to better a guitar part that actually didn’t need fixing. Sometimes the process is as important as the result even if it’s tedious. We circled back to the original (but effective) idea Pierre had for the song. After that, we zipped along. Zakk Cervini, with whom we’re working, coined a new expression. He says: « Jeff, put your Stank on this part »…I’m not sure if I like it but Zakk’s a nice guy so I’ll let him have it ;-)”

First photo from the studio: Simple Plan began recording album #6 yesterday

It’s official: yesterday, July 25th 2019, Simple Plan finally moved on from the song-writing stage and officially began the recording their 6th studio album.

Jeff Stinco confirmed this information on his Instagram yesterday, by posting a picture of him with some of his music equipment. As far as what studio SP decided to use for this recording session, we can only guess from Jeff’s geotagging of his studio picture, which says “North Hollywood, California”. Hopefully quite soon we should be getting some more information about where exactly the guys are recording their new album as well as with who.

You can check out the full picture Jeff posted in our gallery, where we’ve already dedicated a whole album to all future photo updates from the studio.

We’re really excited about all the upcoming updates: more info about the new music, more photos and hopefully the guys will get back into their old vlogging habits. Stay tuned!
