We first heard about a possible upcoming collaboration between Simple Plan and the Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer in August 2014 shortly after 5 Seconds of Summer revealed they listen to Simple Plan during pre-show rituals. Since then the members of both bands got in touch and have already met several times and Simple Plan have been toying with the idea of a possible collaboration between them.
However only yesterday’s events made it clear that there is definitely something in works. Michael Clifford (guitar and back vocals for 5SOS) and Calum Hood (bass guitar and back vocals for 5SOS) officially visited Pierre and Chuck in Chuck’s home studio where they were co-writing some songs for 2 days. Whether the guys were only song-writing together or if we can expect some 5SOS vocal parts on some upcoming songs is yet unclear.
And to top it off, Michael also posted two videos of the guys of 5SOS and SP singing Simple Plan’s “Perfect” together. Check them out here and here.
Simple Plan will be entering the studio in less than 2 weeks, on March 1st 2015.
