It was clear since the beginning that if the song-writing duo ever did a webchat together, the fans would get the most information. And that’s exactly what happened yesterday!
As announced earlier this week, Pierre and Chuck did another Facebook webchat, answering fans’ questions regarding he new album and their other upcoming projects [in case you missed it, you can rewatch it here]. And surprisingly, the guys revealed yet two new song-titles – one on the new album and one that will be released a little bit later! The new Simple Plan album will feature a song called “Singing In The Rain”, which is about powering through the tough times. And the fans can finally really get excited about a new Simple Plan Christmas song, which is in works and the band should be recording it in December but won’t release it until next Christmas (2016). Don’t be sad though – plenty of new SP music to come till then – plus, Pierre also exclusively revealed the song-title of the Xmas song too, which is “Christmas Every Day”.
The new Simple Plan album is truly almost ready, Pierre and Chuck are just working on writing a couple more songs to have one or two more songs to add to the record. Apparently the album should feature a little bit more songs than it usually does and we should find at least 12 to 13 songs on it. Two of those songs are also two of the heaviest songs the band has ever put out, according to Pierre. Album release date is still not fixed but it’s looking to be either at the end of January or the beginning of February (this is a vital information that even though the boys keep writing, the release date frame has not changed in a couple months). Before the album comes out, the fans can expect one or two more songs to be released by SP, in order to get the fans more excited – these songs will however not be ballads (SP want to keep the ballads as a surprise on the actual album, but yes, there are ballads on the album).
Very soon, Pierre and Chuck will be travelling back to Montreal to join the rest of the band and do some promo and also will be going to Europe to do some interviews [it is unknown whether they will be doing shows too]. And while proper touring won’t be on the schedule till the next year (2016), the guys let it slip that they might be going to Mexico this year.
And while it’s currently pretty early to discuss what will be next for Simple Plan after the 5th album, the band members already hinted that they are thinking about putting out another EP (just like they did with The Second Coming, which was in a way a “sequel” or an “addition” to GYHO).
And finally regarding the Simple Plan Foundation benefit event, that many Canadian fans are looking forward to every year – this year there won’t be a proper event like we’re all used to and the band will be concentrating all their efforts on the Tremblant’s 24h event, where the band will perform on December 5th.
