To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’ (2002), Simple Plan decided to release a special new version of their first ever single ‘I’m Just A Kid’ with the Canadian singer/song-writer LØLØ.
Despite being a 20-year old hit, Simple Plan’s ‘I’m Just A Kid’ reached a brand new audience during the pandemic, when it has become a viral TikTok challenge of people all over the world retaking their childhood photos with their adult selves. The trend now has over 3.5 million videos including clips from celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, Usher, Drew Barrymore or Venus and Serena Williams.
The brand new version of ‘I’m Just A Kid’ features LØLØ singing on the second verse as well as the chorus and is available exclusively on Amazon Music.

Even though it has only been a few days since Simple Plan have left Europe, it has now been confirmed that they will be returning to the old continent again next summer for the festival season!
The Austrian Nova Rock Festival has just updated their line-up for 2023 and Simple Plan will be there on the first day (Wednesday, June 7th) alongside Slipknot, Asking Alexandria or Disturbed. This is good news because more than likely we can expect more European festivals to have them on their line-up around that time too.

Jeff Stinco as well as the popular audio engineering company Two notes recently announced a collaboration on the release of the Simple Plan lead singer’s collection of cabinet models, titled ‘The Jeff Stinco Anthology’.
For the non-musician-geeks out there, Jeff describes these as “a virtual version of [his] best physical guitar speaker enclosures.” We weren’t much wiser after that explanation, so we also reached out to Frank Joly, Simple Plan’s audio engineer (who also stood behind the creation of this collection) to explain it to us in layman’s terms. Here is his response: “It’s a cab simulator for guitar players. They put their guitar amp inside the Two notes machine and then they can simulate Jeff’s guitar cabs,” also adding that “it’s for nerds.”
The collection features seven DynIR cabinet models captured from the personal collection of Jeff Stinco, each priced at 10 € (together priced as a pack of 7 at 55 €). Jeff’s collection includes:

After 5 long years, Simple Plan have finally graced us with their presence here in the Czech Republic, when they performed alongside Sum 41 at a concert in Prague. A full report from the concert is of course to come, but we figured the first thing we really need to put out is the interview we filmed with Chuck Comeau on Simple Plan’s tourbus during the afternoon before the show in Prague.
In this interview Dominika (SimplePlan.cz) and Chuck discussed many subjects from the pandemic, becoming an independent band without a label and the behind the scenes of Simple Plan’s song-writing process.
Being over 37 minutes long, it is now SimplePlan.cz’s longest interview to date, so make sure you make time to watch it in full.
Big thank you goes to Coalition Music, Conspiracy Concerts, Danny Vance and of course Chuck Comeau for setting up this interview. Special thanks also goes to Viola for being the best camera girl.
We hope you’ll enjoy it & we can’t wait to hear your feedback in the YouTube comments:
