Courage My Love about SP: “Every Canadian listened to Simple Plan at some point in their lives!”

BurningStars.net recently did an interview with two members of the Canadian band Courage My Love, who are soon heading out on a tour in Canada, where they will be opening for Simple Plan in September (big thanks to Maureen for sharing her interview with us!). So naturally a part of the interview turned to the topic of this upcoming NPNHJB tour.

The lead singer of the band, Mercedes Arn-Horn, was asked about what she was looking forward to the most on this tour and also whether Simple Plan were a band they’d listen to growing up. Check out her answer in the transcription below or in the actual interview around mark 5:45.

“Oh, definitely. I feel like if you lived in Canada, everyone listened to Simple Plan like… at some point in their lives. So, it’s definitely a dream come true for us. We’ve played with them before but we’ve never done a full tour with them… So, we’re really excited. And just looking forward to hanging with the guys and meeting new people. For sure.”

Enter Shikari about Simple Plan at Aerodrome: ‘They were fantastic!’

Almost a month has passed already since June 11th, when the one-day Aerodrome Festival took place in Prague, Czech Republic. This festival offered a quite extraordinary line-up, featuring acts such as Counterfeit, Mallory Knox (didn’t perform in the end), Royal Republic, Enter Shikari, Machine Gun Kelly, Simple Plan and Linkin Park.

MonsterMusic spoke to Rou Reynolds, the lead vocalist for Enter Shikari and also the band’s drummer Rob Rolfe and in this interview, the two members of Enter Shikari among other information also revealed how they felt about some of the acts on this festival in Prague. Check out what they thought of Simple Plan below:

Rou: “We’re really sorry about what happened to Mallory Knox. They are our friends and we played with them just a little while ago, so it’s a great shame they couldn’t perform.”
Rob: “I watched the Royal Republic performance, they played before us and they were amazing.”
Rou: “And Simple Plan were also fantastic.”
