One his Instagram Stories, the lead singer of the American band We The Kings – Travis Clark, revealed last night that for the past few days, he’s been writing songs with Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan in Chuck’s home studio.

Travis Clark has of course been a fan of Simple Plan for a long time and ever since 2011 We The Kings and Simple Plan have become friends since they have supported Simple Plan on one of their U.S. tours, later on also in Europe and Australia and recently reunited on Warped Tour over the summer, where Travis even joined Simple Plan on stage during Grow Up.

After Fil Thorpe-Evans (former member of Neck Deep), this is the second popular musician to be revealed to be writing songs for Simple Plan’s new album.

In the three short videos published on his Instagram Stories, Travis Clark humorously teased the new song he’s just written with Pierre and Chuck. Check it out below:

After Mike Herrera teased the fact in his new podcast, his band MxPx now dropped a digital rerelease of their 2009 Christmas EP ‘Punk Rawk Christmas’ – except this time around with 2 special new additional songs – ‘Another Christmas’ and another one called ‘December’ that features Pierre Bouvier and Emily Whitehurst.

Check out the brand new song in full right here in the lyric video released alongside this song and find the full lyrics to ‘December’ below:

December

It’s December 1st and all I want is to stay home
Lately all the bars in town are dead as catacombs
The streets are lined with decorations bringing in the cheer
But maybe if I close my eyes
I’ll sleep until next year

Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long to decide your reasons why
You feel nothing

Cause nothing is easy
Nothing is easy
Nothing is easy
Nothing is easy
Believe me I’ve tried

It’s December 13 and I’m told it’s ladies night
Finally I worked up the nerve to go out after light
That’s just not my scene so I turned round, walked out the door
Now I’m Christmas shopping at a liquor store

Don’t wait to long
Don’t wait to long to decide your reasons why
You feel nothing

Cause nothing is easy
Nothing is easy
Nothing is easy
Nothing is easy believe me I’ve tried
Believe me I’ve tried

It’s good looking out from the inside
Believe me I’ve tried

Sebastien gives advice on how to perform ‘Beat It’ for a good cause

AUTHOR: Dominika | 13. November 2018 | no comments

One of the three main objectives of the Simple Plan Foundation is to support organizations that try to help young people facing difficult problems that often come with teenagehood. In the spirit of this goal, Sebastien has teamed up with Fondation Jean Lapointe in order to help drug and alcohol addiction among the youth and got involved in their WHO’S GOT PASSION Challenge.

In this challenge, Jonathan Durocher, President of National Bank Investments Inc., will have to perform the song ‘Beat It’ by Michael Jackson with the help of two high-school singers Éléonore and Mathilde, on stage in front of 1200 people at the Grand Festin d’huîtres fund-raising event, that will be held on November 16, 2018.

Sebastien Lefebvre got involved at the rehearsal stage and decided to give the performers a few helpful advice. If you speak French, you can check them out on the video below:

Lachelle teases Pierre’s return to studio in her Instagram Stories

AUTHOR: Dominika | 12. November 2018 | no comments

Many Simple Plan fans have been eagerly awaiting the important moment when Simple Plan would finally begin their work on their upcoming sixth studio album. And while we haven’t heard anything from Pierre and Chuck themselves about the beginning of the song-writing process, it looks like at least Pierre has already begun some work in his home studio last night!

His wife Lachelle posted a boomerang on her Instagram Stories last night, in which she captured Pierre’s home studio at night with the lights on, with the caption: “Studio lights on”, tagging Pierre in the story and also adding a microphone emoji. It seems that Pierre has finally returned to his studio and hopefully we will soon be getting some updates from him and from the other guys from SP too!

If you missed Lachelle’s story, check it out in a loop below:

How excited are you for Simple Plan’s new album?

Sebastien song-writing and producing in Nashville for local artists

AUTHOR: Dominika | 10. November 2018 | no comments

If you’ve been following Simple Plan for a while, you know that all members of the band have various side projects and hobbies they like to use their spare time on. One of Sebastien’s hobbies is producing music – not just for Simple Plan – but also helping other young artists become better at what their do and help them write and create great songs.

And it was precisely last week that after his show with Simple Plan in Pennsylvania, Sebastien headed over to Nashville, TN for a few days, where he was invited to work with Hey World Productions’ Sean Rogers, who he had previously met on Instagram. Sean’s work in audio engineering (especially mixing and mastering) can be found on record of artists such as Lady Antebellum or Shania Twain.

Together in Nashville, Seb and Sean produced a number of songs for Ardenne and Forrest Finn. Check out what Forrest Finn had to say about his collaboration with Seb and Sean below:

“Just need to take a second to brag about these amazing people! Got to spend the weekend “working” on some songs for Ardenne as well as myself. Both Sean Rogers and Seb Lefebvre helped me dive deep and really take on the artist role that I’ve been really working to get back to the past couple months. We wrote one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written and I can’t wait to show the world. Amazing creators, better people.”

Besides about posting various updates about these song-writing and recording sessions on his Instagram, Seb also put together a little video of his time there which he just released yesterday. Check it out:
