Simple Plan have appeared in the December issue of the Alternative Press magazine. There is a new photoshoot of the band by Jocelyn Michel and also an article with a very to-the-point title: “Last Ones Standing”. I definitely reccommend reading through the whole article, as you will learn more about Simple Plan’s position in the United States, mostly about the before-and-after of the self-titled album, which made Simple Plan stop touring in the US and how it all changed when the band decided to come back on last year’s Bamboozle Roadshow.
Here are a little excerpts from the article:
“We’ve got so much left to accomplish. We’re nowhere near being done. We’ve never had one line-up change. The spirit of the band is the five of us. The sum of the parts is greater than each of us individually. We’re better together… That sounds like a Spice Girls song.” – Chuck Comeau
“I feel a very genuine vibe from them. They’re just in it to have a good time. There are definitely bands that came up with them that took themselves too seriously. I think once you do that, you start making records that aren’t you. Simple Plan were never bitter about new bands coming up and trying to take what they had. Nothing ever threw them off.” – Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) on Simple Plan
