AUTHOR: Dominika | 11. July 2025 | no comments

Simple Plan’s release of their new Prime Video documentary ‚Kids In The Crowd‘ earlier this week is a gift that just keeps giving. Today, the band released a 38-songs-long soundtrack which includes some of their best hits as well as one completely new track, five unreleased demos and one live track.

The soundtrack is now available digitally on Spotify but will be also released physically on a double vinyl and also on a CD on October 24th. Pre-orders are already available on the links below:

The official Simple Plan merch store also has a special turquois colored vinyl available for pre-order. This limited edition only has 900 pieces available and will be dispatched on October 29th.

The band has previously teased the release of a new song within the documentary at their shows in Canada last week, where they’ve performed the song ‘Nothing Changes’ live for the first time.

In the song, Simple Plan reflect on their journey of growing up on stage — from the highs and lows of life as a rock band to the realization that they’re living the dream they’ve had since the beginning.

Beside the members of Simple Plan, the song lyrics’s credits include some other familiar names including Andrew Goldstein, Travis Clark (We The Kings) or Zakk Cervini.

The song Nothing Changes also received its own music video, released today, featuring a nostalgic look back at the band’s early days and their entire musical journey. Don’t miss it – check it out here:

While working on the documentary, the members of Simple Plan went through their old archives and uncovered five never-before-heard demo versions of songs they recorded even before their debut album. And you can now listen to them in all their raw beauty!

These songs include:

I'd Do Anything - demo version (from August 1999)
My Alien (Rocket) - demo version (from October 1999)
Summer Lies - demo version (from August 1999)
Feeling - demo version (from January 2000)
Happy Lie - demo version (from January 2000)

Simple Plan know their fans are suckers for live track, so they could not include one on their documentary’s soundtrack. The chosen song to be recorded live was the fan-favorite ‘Where I Belong’ which they originally recorded as a featuring with State Champs and We The Kings.

Still Not Getting Any 20th anniversary: new edition release, gold & platinum certifications and music videos in HD!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 30. October 2024 | no comments

On October 26th, Simple Plan’s second album ‘Still Not Getting Any’ celebrated 20 years since its release back in 2004. To commemorate this very special anniversary, the band decided to release a special “20th Anniversary Edition” of this album on Spotify which includes the b-side track ‘Crash And Burn’ (which is officially available for streaming for the very first time!) as well as an acoustic edition of ‘Welcome To My Life’.

Check out below what Simple Plan had to say about one of their most popular albums turning 20 years old:

“Making this record was one of the best experiences we’ve had as a band. We knew exactly what we wanted to create and felt so confident and excited about the songs we were writing. We spent a magical summer in our hometown of Montreal recording them and crafting the album we had always dreamed of making. Back in 2004, people from all over the world heard these songs and they became the soundtrack to many of your lives. 20 years later, we’re so proud and grateful they seem to have stood the test of time and we look forward to playing them live for you for many years to come. We hope you enjoy listening to the album again and would like to thank everyone for the love and support you have shown SNGA for all these years!”

And we’re not just stopping there! Besides the rerelease of the album on Spotify, the band also decided to upgrade most of their old music videos, including the ones from Still Not Getting Any, and finally get them a proper high definition treatment! Check out how different Welcome To My Life now looks in HD on the video below:

And one more special news regarding the songs from Still Not Getting Any! One day before the big 20th anniversary, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) had awarded Simple Plan multiple new certifications for three of the album’s singles.

Welcome To My Life received a 2x Platinum status with 2 million units.

Untitled received a Gold status with 0,5 million units.

Shut Up received a Gold status with 0,5 million units.

(The current RIAA definition of a unit is either each permanent digital download or 150 on-demand audio or video streams.)

New Simple Plan documentary to be released in 2025 on Prime Video

AUTHOR: Dominika | 21. October 2024 | no comments

Simple Plan’s new documentary, that has been in works since the beginning of this year – that we’ve reported on earlier this summer, has been greenlit by Amazon’s Prime Video and it has now been announced that the documentary will be released in the beginning of 2025 on Amazon Prime. We have previously reported about this documentary when Chuck mentioned it in a French interview.

In the official press release by Amazon MGM Studios, it has been revealed that the documentary will be directed by Didier Charette (pictured above to the right of Chuck).

And what does the band have to say about this new documentary?

“This movie is the centrepiece of the band’s 25th anniversary celebrations and probably one of the most ambitious and special project we’ve ever been a part of. Reaching this milestone felt like the perfect moment to look back, reflect and give our fans an inside look into our lives, both on tour and at home. We gave director Didier Charette unprecedented access to the band, and our archives, and trusted him to tell our story. He traveled with us on tour for an entire year and, in the process, really captured the essence of who we are as a band and as people. We’re so proud of this movie and can’t wait for our fans to watch it and get to know us like never before!”

Simple Plan in press release

The documentary is set to chronicle Simple Plan’s career from their beginnings in the late 90s, their rise to global stardom as well as their continued impact on the music industry. According to an article by La Presse, the documentary will show Simple Plan as their most raw, vulnerable and truthful selves.

“[The documentary will be more "raw" than our book]. [Didier] wanted to go deeper and show the most complicated sides of us, the sides that were the most truthful. We definitely stepped out of our comfort zone.“

Pierre Bouvier lead singer

So far, the members of the band have only seen parts of the upcoming documentary, but they admit that they had experienced moments of discomfort when they saw themselves not always depicted in the best light.

According to La Presse, both Chuck Comeau and Jeff Stinco have confirmed that while the archive footage used in the documentary will include David Desrosiers (who left the band in 2020 following accusations of sexual misconduct), he wasn’t interviewed for the film.

Besides the in-depth interviews with the current members of Simple Plan and lots of never-seen-before footage from the band’s archives, the documentary will also feature new footage from the past year that the band has been filming this documentary on the road.

Many fans will also surely be happy to see some other familiar faces in the documentary, as it will also include new in-depth interviews with other musicians including Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland & Noodles (The Offspring) and Fat Mike (NOFX), who have had their impact on Simple Plan’s career.

Below, you can check out the band’s documentary announcement, captures on a video at this past weekend’s When We Were Young Festival:

Simple Plan release new music video for Iconic feat. Jax (including a brand new verse)

AUTHOR: Dominika | 14. October 2023 | no comments

On Friday, October 13th 2023, Simple Plan released a brand new music video for their new single ‘Iconic’ featuring a new collaboration with singer/songwriter Jax. The music video consists of clips from the band’s recent world tour and was filmed by Anna Lee, Skyler Barberio, Josh Kim and Braverijah Gregg.

The new version of ‘Iconic’ features a brand new verse by Jax, which includes a number of name drops including Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett. The verse goes as follows:

If I had a dime for every time
Someone in a suit said I should try
To look a little more like Britney
Sing a little more like Whitney
I’d be
Richer than Besos and Buffet combined
But I’d rather eat Cup O Noodles and cry
Speaking the words that are mine
‘Cause Whit is the shit And Brit is the shit
‘Cause they don’t give a shit about trying to fit
