It’s February 19th 2016 and that means one thing and one thing only – Simple Plan are officially releasing their new album “Taking One For The Team”!
Make sure to pick up your physical copy (there’s a lot to look forward to!), buy it on iTunes or you can just start by streaming it on Spotify!
Right after the clock struck midnight all over the world and the album was released, it skyrocketted to the top of the charts. In both Canada and Czech Republic, the album debuted at no.1 on iTunes, in Hong Kong and Australia it’s no. 3 and interestingly enough it’s currently the #1 Best Seller in Canadian hardcore & punk category on Amazon.
If you’re interested, you can already read through SimplePlan.cz’s review of this record and keep checking back to the lyrics center for info on all the songs, including the lyrics of course!
Enjoy the album and make sure to let me know in the comments what you think of it!
Below, you can also read Chuck’s words of thanks for the positive responses of the album so far:
Our new album is OUT and available everywhere right now. The response from the fans has been absolutely phenomenal – I’ve been glued to my phone reading all your amazing and positive comments all night.
You have no idea how special and emotional it makes me feel to know that these new songs mean so much to you. We write music for you: to make you feel better when you’re having a tough day, to make you smile, to help you feel strong when you’re feeling weak, to make you feel less alone, to give you energy and courage, to make you want to sing at the top of your lungs at the shows…
There’s no better feeling in the world to know that you are enjoying this new album and that you’re still here with us after all these years. Tonight, I feel like you have our backs, that the SP Army is coming out to fight on our behalf and support us. We need you right now and I’m amazed to see how many of you care about this band and want to help us succeed.
This wasn’t an easy album to make, but tonight every minute we spent obsessing about it feels so worth it. Thank you for pushing us to be better and not forgetting our roots and who we are. We owe you so much.
This is YOUR album so go and enjoy it! Listen to it, stream it, play the cd in your car, blast it in your headphones…I hope it becomes the soundtrack of your lives. Your support means the world and please know we appreciate everyone who pre-ordered it, got it on iTunes, grabbed a CD or is steaming it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Chuck.
