Review of SP’s show on Bamboozle Roadshow

American online journal The Sun Chronicle posted a review of the last show of all the bands, who took part in this year’s Bamboozle Roadshow in Mansfield, on June 27th. Here you check out a pretty positive paragraph from this article, which describes Simple Plan’s performance in Mansfield:

“Thirty-something Canadian rockers Simple Plan blithely threw themselves – Peter Pan style – into the youthful spirit of the concert. Hopping and spinning wildly around the stage in baggy cargo shorts and skate shoes, lead singer Pierre Bouvier and his bandmates looked and sounded as if time had not touched them since their debut album over 10 years ago. And judging by the warm, shrieking welcome from the audience, directionless suburban angst is immortal – or at least has a very long life. The band successfully channelled teenage drama in a set filled with sulky, self-pity anthems like “Welcome to My Life” and “I’m Just a Kid,” becoming briefly more serious about child-parent relations in the unexpectedly poignant “Perfect.” High points of the set included flailing solos by lanky drummer Chuck Comeau and the expertise of lead guitarist Jeff Stinco – though these elements were all too frequently overshadowed by Madden’s bluster.”
