Jeff Stinco reveals: Simple Plan aiming to record a new album by March!

In a brand new interview for The Joel Martin Mastery Podcast, Simple Plan’s guitarist Jeff Stinco opened up about the band’s latest single ‘Nothing Changes’ and, more importantly, gave fans a glimpse into Simple Plan’s future plans regarding new music.

Jeff explained that recording Nothing Changes was a form of therapy for the band and proved that they could still be efficient in the studio without letting perfectionism hold them back and spend months writing a new record (like they’ve always done in the past:

“‘Nothing Changes’ was sort of therapy for us because we had cold feet. We were nervous about getting into the studio again. We didn’t even know if we were functioning enough as a band to get into the studio and make a song quickly enough, because we’re perfectionists to a point where we get paralysis. Allowing ourselves two days to finish a song – to write, record, and mix it in two days – that was liberating!”

According to Jeff, this experience showed them that they don’t need to spend six months obsessing over every detail in order to create music. Most excitingly, he also revealed the band’s concrete plan:

“After The Offspring tour in Europe, we’re taking a break – that’s probably going to be in December. We have until March to make a record. The plan is to get into the studio, write as much as we can, and just get it done. I think it’s definitely possible."

That means if all goes according to plan, Simple Plan could have their new album recorded as early as spring 2026! And with a few months reserved for post-production and promotional planning, the actual release could realistically happen later in 2026. After all, their last album (Harder Than It Looks) already came out three years ago, in 2022.
