Mitch Lafon from the One On One podcast has recently interviewed Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan. In this very interesting interview the two discussed the upcoming Simple Plan Foundation benefit event, that’s taking place on November 23rd in Montreal and also the new Simple Plan album.
Chuck talked about the importance of music in people’s lives, about how hard it is to write songs under the pressure when their fans expect their songs to be very meaningful, while not trying to write them just for that purpose. He also mentioned how the band’s work with the producer of their second album – Bob Rock – came about and expressed his desire to work with him again in the future. Regarding the next album, Chuck mentioned him and Pierre have about 50 songs written so far and plan on writing about 60 songs and then bring them down to 11. The release of the album is still planned for some time around spring or summer of 2015.
