AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. January 2017 | no comments

Thanks to Fred Jerome, Simple Plan’s graphic designer, a series of brand new never-seen-before shots from the behind the scenes of the sport-themed Taking One For The Team photoshoot, which you can now see on TOFTT’s album art, were recently published on his website.

The photoshoot [you can check out the final pictures from it here], which was once again executed by the photographer Chapman Baehler, took place in Canada in the summer of 2015, that means about half a year before the release of the record.

Have a look at these new pictures from the making of this unforgettable photoshoot in our gallery:

A new video has now surfaced online, which provides us a much better look at David performing with Reset, as it was shot from side-stage.

Check out David playing the bass with Reset for ‘My Dream And I’ and ‘Pollution’ and also singing a bit as well:

Simple Plan’s ‘Astronaut’ among AP’s ’10 essential songs about space’

AUTHOR: Dominika | 3. January 2017 | no comments

The latest issue of the Alternative Press magazine features a page dedicated to the ‘TOP 10 essential songs about space’ and with that theme in mind, it would be a shame not to include Simple Plan’s second single from Get Your Heart On! – “Astronaut”.

Besides Simple Plan, the article also included other space-themed songs by bands such as Blink-182 (‘Aliens Exist’), 5 Seconds Of Summer (‘Outer Space / Carry On’) or Misfits (‘Mars Attacks’).

Check out what AP wrote about SP’s song below and have a look at the full page from AP in the gallery (thanks Theresa for the picture)

10 ESSENTIAL SONGS ABOUT SPACE

Simple Plan – “Astronaut”
The single off Simple Plan’s fourth album is astronaut-approved. Apparently Canadian spaceman (and musician) Chris Hadfield played the song while in orbit. The emotional track is filled with space imagery and related to the loneliness astronauts must feel when they are out here in the great unknown.
