Pierre and Chuck discuss pop-punk vs. pop sound in a new interview

Last week Pierre and Chuck gave a number of interviews last week when they were in Toronto, Canada, one of which being the one for ET Canada.

In this interview, which is set to fully air tonight, Pierre and Chuck talked about a number of different things including one of the most controversial topics regarding SP lately and that is the fact that to some, their most recent music (e.g. first single “I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed”) seems to be heading in a more pop way than the pop-punk/alternative/back to their roots way. The two song-writers addressed this topic saying these songs are just a sample from their newest record, which they feel is their best record yet, and which includes some of the heaviest and most pop-punk songs they have ever written.

VIDEO: David pays respect to Paris with a cover of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’

To show his solidarity with Paris after the tragic shootings that took place there on Friday (which resulted in Simple Plan canceling a show scheduled for Monday), David Desrosiers released a series of clips on Instagram of him singing the song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon, which has become the anthem of peace.

David wrote:

Paris I send you all my love in these tiny clips… I hope you can hear it and feel it all… It’s just a little something that I felt like doing coming home from the gathering, I was very moved and still am as you can hear in the clips but it’s my heart singing this very special song for you from a man who I believe would be very shocked and saddened by these events…

Thanks to Jasmine you can check out all David’s Instagram videos of his ‘Imagine’ cover in one video below:

Simple Plan rocked the stage as a final act at We Day Ottawa

On Tuesday, November 10th, Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre hosted this year’s edition of We Day Ottawa. We Day is an inspirational event organized by Free The Children, where thousands of young people, who earn their way in by taking action on various issues that help the community, gather to listen to inspiring speeches by world-renowned speakers and to see performers that also stand for helping to change the world. We Day traditionally takes place in various cities in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We Day Ottawa welcomed a number of inspiring speakers including the first public appearance of the Canada’s newly elected prime minister since his election – Justin Trudeau, YouTuber Lilly Singh (IISuperwomanII) or social activist Spencer West. The event was also filled with musical performances of artists such as Kardinal Offishall and our very own Simple Plan.

The members of Simple Plan took the stage as the final highlight of the event, performing their new song “Boom”. You can watch their performance here:

The gallery is now also filled with a few pictures of the SP boys both from the backstage of We Day and also from the performance itself:
