To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’ (2002), Simple Plan decided to release a special new version of their first ever single ‘I’m Just A Kid’ with the Canadian singer/song-writer LØLØ.
Despite being a 20-year old hit, Simple Plan’s ‘I’m Just A Kid’ reached a brand new audience during the pandemic, when it has become a viral TikTok challenge of people all over the world retaking their childhood photos with their adult selves. The trend now has over 3.5 million videos including clips from celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, Usher, Drew Barrymore or Venus and Serena Williams.
The brand new version of ‘I’m Just A Kid’ features LØLØ singing on the second verse as well as the chorus and is available exclusively on Amazon Music.

After 5 long years, Simple Plan have finally graced us with their presence here in the Czech Republic, when they performed alongside Sum 41 at a concert in Prague. A full report from the concert is of course to come, but we figured the first thing we really need to put out is the interview we filmed with Chuck Comeau on Simple Plan’s tourbus during the afternoon before the show in Prague.
In this interview Dominika (SimplePlan.cz) and Chuck discussed many subjects from the pandemic, becoming an independent band without a label and the behind the scenes of Simple Plan’s song-writing process.
Being over 37 minutes long, it is now SimplePlan.cz’s longest interview to date, so make sure you make time to watch it in full.
Big thank you goes to Coalition Music, Conspiracy Concerts, Danny Vance and of course Chuck Comeau for setting up this interview. Special thanks also goes to Viola for being the best camera girl.
We hope you’ll enjoy it & we can’t wait to hear your feedback in the YouTube comments:

After a little summer break, Simple Plan are back on the Blame Canada co-headlining tour with Sum 41 in the U.S., which will continue until August 28th. This time around, the boys are hitting mostly cities on the western coast with the exception of the final three dates, which will take place in New York and New Jersey to make up for the canceled shows from the first leg of this tour (which were then canceled due to positive covid tests in the Sum 41 camp).
As far as the setlist of the show goes, it mostly remained very similar to the one Simple Plan had on the first leg of the tour. Of course, every night, the guys like to switch up a couple of songs to make the shows always a little different. But the main structure of the setlist remains the same. The band also still incorporates a cover “party medley” in the middle of the show, where they cover Smash Mouth’s ‘All Star’, Avril Lavigne’s ‘Sk8er Boi’ and The Killers’ ‘Mr. Brightside’. Besides these cover, there is one extra cover that Simple Plan has played at most of the recent shows toward the end of the show right before ‘Untitled’ or ‘Perfect’ – and that is the cover of Oasis’ legendary song ‘Wonderwall’.
Check out the setlist of the most recent show in San Diego (August 5th):
Below, you can check out a video of Simple Plan performing Wonderwall at a recent festival at Festivoix in July:
20 years after the first release of the animated TV series ‘What’s New, Scooby-Doo?’ which featured an intro song of the same name by Simple Plan, ‘What’s New, Scooby-Doo?’ finally got to have it’s own official lyrics video, which you can now stream on YouTube.
The video, edited by Brent Hallman (Tivoli Films Inc./Hallman Animation Studios) includes the original animated members of Simple Plan from the episode ‘Simple Plan and the Invisible Madman’ (where the SP members also voiced their own characters).
