In a recent interview for Le Journal De Quebec, Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan discussed the band’s plans on releasing an EP consisted of a few songs (some newly written, some that haven’t made it onto the previous record) – that they want to release either by the end of 2013 or at the beginning of 2014 and also metioned the works on Simple Plan’s fifth studio album.
“We already started working on it. It will intensify in September, we will dedicate ourselves 100% to the composition of the new songs. I have no idea how long it will take, but we will try to be in the studio maybe next spring. If we are realistic, we might release it around the beginning of 2015.”
And while it is still very early to talk about which direction the band wants to take their music with their next studio album, according to Chuck, we might see some similarities with Get Your Heart On! (2011).
“We really found that there was a balance on the last album between the more emotional tracks and the very fast pop punk songs, and they represented a good mix. I think for the next record, it will be a bit in the same vein.”
What are your thoughts on what the next Simple Plan record should be like? Would you like more fast up-beat pop punk songs, more emotional songs or will you be happy with a mix of both?
