Release day promo recap

February 19th was quite possibly the bussiest day for Simple Plan this year and for a good reason – the band finally dropped their long-awaited record “Taking One For The Team” and the boys had a lot of promo to do!

Before this busy day, the guys attended the Toronto Maple Leafs game, after which they had to get up early to do a whole lot of interviews with various TV and radio stations. Before that though, it was important for some of the members like Chuck and Jeff to go and pick up the physical copy of their new album [see the picture on the right].

Regarding the interviews – you can have a look at the BT Toronto interview with Jeff and Seb over here, but I’d rather recommend the much funnier and interesting interview with Sirius XM 167, where the guys for example talk about which collaboration in their career was the weirdest – and it’s not what you’d might think!

For the whole day, Simple Plan took over Alternative Press‘ Instagram, which fed us some gorgeous pictures throughout the whole day and allowed us to follow Simple Plan on their album’s release day – you can already see some of the pictures here. And speaking of Alternative Press, the APTV correspondent Nick Major released his long-awaited and very well-done interview with Pierre and Chuck yesterday, which I definitely recommend you to check out below:

During the day, Simple Plan also answered a lot of fan questions on their Twitter page via short videos and in the evening they attended the taping of CBC Music First Play, which will soon be available on YouTube (I will let you know). There, the band performed a short setlist that was a mix of some of their old stuff together with new tracks from TOFTT. See for yourself below:

1. Opinion Overload
2. Welcome To My Life
3. Kiss Me Like Nobody’s Watching
4. Boom
5. I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed
6. Summer Paradise
7. Farewell
8. I’d Do Anything

In the gallery you can already check out the pictures from the past day (or two), of Simple Plan doing promos and playing at CBC Music:

And finally, the boys ended the day with their Coalition and Warner team in Toronto, celebrating the release of their newest “baby”, an album that took two years to make but so far has received an incredible amount of positive reviews [but more on that later]. Check out the video below:
