The British magazine RockSound published a new video call interview with Pierre Bouvier from Simple Plan. In the interview, the reporter James Wilson-Taylor talked to Pierre about his band’s recent unexpected success with their past hits such as “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” and “I’m Just A Kid”, as well as Simple Plan’s new single and the upcoming 6th studio album.

When it came to the album (which, by the way, should be coming out in early 2022), Pierre noted that the core fans will be in love with this album, as it is “heavy and rock” and even compared it to one of the band’s most popular releases, the 2004 album “Still Not Getting Any”. Check out what Pierre said below:

“I would say The Antidote is a good indication [about the style of the record]. Obviously, there’s a few songs that are a little different. But mostly I would say this album is very… it’s more rock. It reminds me of like Still Not Getting Any, 2004-ish Simple Plan. I love the sound. […] Really heavy, rock… We have about 2 songs that are more on the pop kind of cross-over side, but everything else is just straight up pop-punk, so I think the fans who are, you know, big fans of Simple Plan will absolutely be stoked to hear this.

You all have been patient enough. It has been almost 2 years since the last time we got to hear a new Simple Plan song and over 5 years since the last album came out. But today is the day! Let us introduce you to Simple Plan’s first song off their upcoming (yet untitled) album called “The Antidote”. Check it out below:

We’ve also already figured out the lyrics for you, so you don’t have to. Check them out, feel free to sing-along and let us know what you think of the song in the comments below or on our social media:

The Antidote

Caught up in a life that I wish I could erase
I wanna disappear, wanna leave without a trace
I’m looking in the mirror but I can’t see through the pain
So I take another pill and I hope it goes away

Cause my broken pieces
Don’t fit in

Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling my veins
You’re the antidote

You’re the antidote

How do I go on when my dreams are ripped and torn
I’m tired and I don’t wanna fake it anymore
When it’s all too much and I feel like I’m about to break
You always come around and the darkness fades way, fades away

Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling my veins
You’re the antidote

You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote

Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling in my veins
You’re the antidote

oh oh oh oh
You’re the antidote
oh oh oh oh
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote

The Antidote hype: Simple Plan released 2 new promo videos & addressed David’s stepping away again

AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. November 2021 | no comments

In just a couple hours, Simple Plan’s brand new single “The Antidote” will premiere online and in the anticipation of this big event, Simple Plan have been hyping up their fans with a bunch of new content.

First, the band published a video on their Instagram showing the behind the scenes of what looks like could be the promotional photoshoot for the new album, which took place at the end of August, when the guys finally got toegether again after a long time in California. Check it out below:

And of course it’s not just the new song and the album that the guys are hyping up now – it’s also the upcoming tour with The Offspring. And speaking of that, Pierre and Chuck actually got together with Noodles and Dexter from The Offspring and in order for them to be even allowed into Canada, the members of Simple Plan decided to give The Offspring a little bit of schooling – the Canadian way. Check out the funny video below:

And finally, given how many fans still keep asking Simple Plan about David Desrosiers, who left the band mid-2020 after some allegations of sexual misconduct came to light, the band decided to address this on their social media as well once more. See their statement below:

“A lot of you are asking about David. As stated in his most recent Instagram post, David has stepped away from the band as of the summer of 2020 and continues to focus on working on himself. We respect his decision and wish him the best in this ongoing process.
