Simple Plan members gather in California: ready to enter the studio to record new album

AUTHOR: Dominika | 24. July 2019 | no comments

The moment we’ve been waiting for for the past couple of month, perhaps even years, is finally here: Simple Plan finally have enough songs to enter the recording studio and start turning their demos into actual recordings.

After performing their set at Warped Tour in Mountain View, all members of Simple Plan (even those based on Canada’s east coast) remained in California, where they are expected to hit the recording studio any day now. Jeff Stinco confirmed this on his Instagram yesterday, when he posted a picture of himself and Sebastien, bringing some of his favorite guitars with him to California:

It’s time to work on a new record! You know what that means? I get to play with all my Toys in the Attic (see what I did there?)! I only brought the sweetest of the sweetest in terms of guitars for this recording session. Seb seems to think I went mad again ;-)

As of right now, there has been no official announcement from the band regarding their return to the studio, nor an announcement regarding who’s going to be in charge of the production of their 6th studio album: whether they will hire a producer, work with multiple ones or even aim to produce it themselves. However we expect all of these questions to be answered quite soon.

Are you excited to hear what Simple Plan have come up with on record #6?

Pierre on new Simple Plan album, working with Travis Clark and David’s possible return in a new interview

AUTHOR: Dominika | 29. May 2019 | 1 comment

Over the weekend at Slam Dunk Festival, Pierre gave an interview to Brainstorming Music, in which he revealed quite a number of interesting information about Simple Plan’s upcoming 6th album and also made a short comment about David’s possible return back on tour with the new album.

You can listen to the interview below, but due to the rather harsh sound quality, we transcribed the most important parts for you below. Definitely make sure to read through it:

How are the works for the new album going?

Pierre: It’s going amazing. Fans are gonna love it, it’s going to be the best record ever. I’m serious about it. The songs are really good. Really really good. Very very exciting. We have pretty much all written and we’re gonna hit the studio soon, we’re gonna record it and pop it out.

We know that you’re working with Travis from We The Kings. Should we expect a more pop/melodic album?

Pierre: Well, we wrote with other people – we wrote with different writers and we worked with a guy called Andrew Goldstein, we worked with Travis, we worked with many other people. But it’s nice to have someone who just… cause I like Travis to writing the song for us, you know? Cause we write and he’s there with us. The idea is, I would say, the lyrics, concepts – always Chuck comes up with that. Then we get melodies and stuff like that.. And it’s just nice to have someone that can help out when I get stuck somewhere, like if I have an idea but I don’t know where to take it. So Travis – he can play guitar, he can play the piano, he can play the drums, he can sing, so… it’s good to have someone that balances it out with more ideas. But I would say the album is Simple Plan, pop-punk, it’s got some heavy songs, some pop songs, it’s got some dark songs, very emotional, very emotional. Our fans are gonna love it. I predict it’s gonna be a fan-favorite.

Another question from the fans is about David. Will he come back on tour with the new album?

Pierre: I think he’s getting there, he’s almost ready.

Pierre and Chuck wrote “another banger” for 6th album with Travis Clark

AUTHOR: Dominika | 23. May 2019 | no comments

For the past half a year, Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau have been hard at work in California, writing songs for the upcoming sixth Simple Plan record. And in hopes to turn as many of their ideas into actual music and lyrics as they can before they head out on tour again this week, the pair met up in Pierre’s house again to work on something new. And once again, the two Simple Plan songwriters invited their friend Travis Clark, lead singer of We The Kings, to help them out with their efforts to write the best stuff they possibly can write.

And it worked! According to Pierre and Chuck, who both posted pictures of the three musicians together on their Instagram profiles, the trio wrote “another banger” for the new record yesterday. And according to Chuck, the new album is “starting to feel pretty, pretty, pretty good.” Well, we can’t wait to hear it!

Simple Plan share photos from their song-writing sessions: have a look inside the studio!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 15. May 2019 | no comments

Chady Awad, Simple Plan’s photographer, recently visited Chuck and Pierre in California, where they also invited him to join them in Chuck’s studio, where he got to snap a couple of great photos of this songwriting duo.

As you can see, Simple Plan are still in the midst of song-writing – but not for long – in just a week, they are headed back to Europe to play at Slam Dunk Festival and then there’s a number of other concert appearances throughout the summer in the U.S. and Canada, where we can expect to see them perform. As of right now, we still don’t know when the whole band will enter the recording studio to actually begin the recording process, but SP are aiming for it not to take very long now.

In the meantime, check out the brand new images of Chuck and Pierre from their recent song-writing session:

Sebastien discusses the band’s plans for 2019 in the Dangerous Darrin Show podcast

AUTHOR: Dominika | 3. May 2019 | no comments

This week, Sebastien Lefebvre, appeared on the Dangerous Darrin Show, the Idobi radio podcast of Darrin Pfeiffer from Goldfinger. The two musicians had lots to talk about not only because they’re both in music and they both have a podcast on Idobi radio, but also due to the fact that they’ve been acquainted for over 17 years now – ever since Goldfinger took Simple Plan out on one of their first tours after their debut album was released in 2002.

You can listen to the whole podcast here but if you don’t have the time and would just like to find out if perhaps Seb talked about anything regarding the upcoming album, the answer is yes, he did. Seb was very careful not to reveal much, but he painted the picture of what the band’s plans are for the rest of the year. Check out this part of the interview below:

What does 2019 have in store for the band? I mean, are you gonna release new music? Is there a tour going on? What’s the news with Simple Plan [in] 2019?

Seb: Well, there’s a lot of “plans” and we’ll see if they come true. We are writing, right now, for the next album. And you know that we do take our time, even though things are going great right now [with] writing; as soon as we have things that are kind of worth our band, listening to.. we’ll put them out and we’ll make sure we’ll hurry. And get in the studio and record the songs that we love as soon as we have them. That is the plan. Does that mean in a few months? Does that mean at the end of the year? Hard to say. We’d love to do a “Beyoncé” and just like “BAM! New album today!”, like, that’d be great, but that’s not gonna be today. But we do have a few shows announced and we got some festivals in Europe and we’re gonna have probably a sprinkle of shows throughout the rest of the year, just to keep us busy, because it’s all like, at some point, when you’re every single day at the studio, trying to come up with ideas, you kinda wanna get on stage. So, we’re gonna do that, but the main focus will be to write and make sure, and hopefully make sure… [that] hopefully soon [we’ll] have a new album ready for everyone.
