Simple Plan to release a new song as a title song to season 2 of the TV contest ‘The Fashion Hero’

‘The Fashion Hero’ is a TV contest, which first started in 2017 as a competition between unconventional models to see who will be the next face for a renowned brand’s advertising campaign. According to its executive producer and president, Caroline Bernier, “[The Fashion Hero’s] mission is to change the unhealthy and unrealistic standards of the fashion and beauty industry by bringing people who do not fit the traditional norms of the industry and giving them a chance to be selected by our international brands to model in one of their advertising campaigns.”

Season 2, which will be hosted by The Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean, is set to air in January 2022 and will be filmed in South Africa, where the final contestants, chosen from hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world, will compete in various disciplines and aim to win the competition.

In a brand new interview with Caroline Bernier, Pierre Bouvier has revealed that Simple Plan will in fact have a brand new song featured on the show as the title song and the band will also have a special Simple Plan challenge placed within the show.

“We’re gonna be premiering a new song, an exciting song, which I can’t tell its title just yet but a song that I think fits perfectly with the message behind The Fashion Hero. […]

It’s a song about overcoming all obstacles and becoming something great and start believing yourself. And sort of trying to beat all the odds. And this is exactly what I think The Fashion Hero is all about.”

According to Caroline Bernier, “the name of the song is what the contestants will hopefully hope for”, making us wonder what the actual title could possibly be. Any guesses?

Caroline also mentioned that this Sunday, the show is filming some promo with Chuck Comeau at his house.

As far as the release of the full song – it has not been confirmed whether the song will premiere prior to the release of the show or with its release, which is currently set to January 2022.

Chuck and Jeff open up about David’s struggles on the Les Échangistes talk show

by Dominika | Aug 16th, 2017 | no comments

On Tuesday evening, Chuck and Jeff from Simple Plan and also Patrick Langlois, their former website & merch manager, were two of the guests of the Canadian talk show Les Échangistes. While Patrick was there to discuss his Global Citizen ambassadorship, the members of Simple Plan talked to the host Penelope McQuade about their band, upcoming touring plans and also about their friend and bassplayer, David Desrosiers, who will be absent from this tour, due to his continuous struggles with depression.

An article on Showbizz.net brought us a few quotes from this talk show, which show us how in depth did Chuck and Jeff discuss how they deal with their friend’s illness and how David is currently doing. You can read the English translation of it below:

“To answer: “He’s fine”, would be wrong. David is doing the right thing to get better. He surrounds himself with good things. I try to stay positive in all this. I have to. David talks about his discomforts with others and for him, that is a very therapeutic thing to do. I find it important because it may inspire other people to talk about it too. […] I find it very courageous to talk about it openly.

He has a place in the band; He is not going anywhere. We decided not to replace him either. It was very important to him. […] David felt the burden of slowing down and seeing that we continue, it encourages him to get better.”

“He’s been our friend for 17-18 years. To see someone you know, someone you love, to go through difficult moments like that, it just breaks your heart. It has always been a little harder for him to follow the infernal rhythm [of the tour] and there it just caught up with him. We support him 100%. We think that taking rest and not coming back too fast is really the key.“

Vote for ‘Boom’ on Czech TV Óčko music video chart

by Dominika | Sep 25th, 2015 | no comments

It’s been a couple of years now since the last time Simple Plan had a music video on TV [This Song Saved My Life was released two years ago] but the time has finally come now and many TV stations have started to put it in rotation along with many radio stations.

In the Czech Republic, the top TV music channel is TV Óčko, which has always been very positively inclined towards Simple Plan – most notably hosting two Simple Plan specials of their music video chart in 2008 (and inviting through SimplePlan.cz a few fans to the taping) and countless of news coverage about the band in the past few years. And finally, TV Óčko decided to not put Simple Plan’s new music video for ‘Boom’ in rotation, but also put it as a new release into its music chart – “Óčko chart”.

You can now all vote for ‘Boom’ on TV Óčko here and move it to the top of the chart by next Thursday! You can vote only once, so make sure to tell all your friends to do the same.
