You may recall that this February, Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan spent a couple of days writing songs with Calum Hood and Michael Clifford from the Australian band 5 Seconds Of Summer. Ever since the AbsolutePunk.com interview with Chuck it’s been clear that the songs the foursome wrote together were to be used by 5 Seconds Of Summer, not Simple Plan. However their titles still remained a mystery.

That is until now. Both songs that Chuck, Pierre, Michael and Calum wrote together are already listed in the BMI Repertoire and they’re called “The Last Song I Write For You” [thanks to CSP for this title] and also “Love Shouldn’t Make You Cry”.

Whether these songs will make it to the next 5SOS album still remains unknown.

Chuck reveals new song-title, secret soundtrack project and more in new interview!

Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan recently gave a very long interview to Joe DeAndrea from AbsolutePunk, which (as it’s common with Chuck’s interviews) was filled with interesting and new information.

And while you can check out the full interview (and I definitely recommend it!) here, below you can find a recap of the most important information that Chuck revealed.

Firstly, a brand new never-mentioned-before song-title of one of the recorded songs has been revealed. The song is called “Sad” and it is the one that Simple Plan used all the trumpets and saxophones on [read more on that here].

In the interview Chuck also discussed the recently mentioned soundtrack project for which the boys recently recorded a certain song. Turns out, the project is a soundtrack to a remake of a popular French-Canadian film called The Dog Who Stopped The War and apart from Simple Plan, artists like Celine Dion or Walk Off The Earth should also be featured in its soundtrack.

Chuck also mentioned that the main mixer of the new Simple Plan album is Neal Avron, who’s previously mixed albums of bands such as Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy or Yellowcard.

And finally, the interview also mentioned Chuck’s and Pierre’s song-writing sessions with 5 Seconds Of Summer. It seems like the two songs the guys wrote together may in fact end up rather on the next 5SOS record than on the Simple Plan one.

Simple Plan spark up more rumors about possible 5 Seconds Of Summer featuring

Ever since August 2014, rumors about a possible music collaboration between Simple Plan and 5 Seconds of Summer kept popping up every other month, more and more confirming that the Canadians and Australians were up to something together. However it wasn’t until February 2015 that we knew for a fact that Chuck and Pierre spent a few days writing with Callum and Michael from 5SOS.

Now, it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new about this collaboration – that is until now. In one of their most recent replies from Simple Plan’s official Twitter, the band commented on a fan’s tweet regarding a possible featuring of 5SOS on one of the tracks on Simple Plan’s upcoming album, saying “you never know”.

While uptil now it was only certain that there are some songs written by the bands together (with no indication to which band would end up using these songs), this is the first time Simple Plan commented on an information regarding specifically a featuring of 5 Seconds of Summer on one of their tracks. But keep in mind there has not been any official confirmation of such featuring.

What would you say if one (or more) of the 5SOS guys were featured on one of the new SP tracks? Which one would be the best choice in your opinion?

CONFIRMED: Simple Plan writing songs with 5 Seconds Of Summer!

We first heard about a possible upcoming collaboration between Simple Plan and the Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer in August 2014 shortly after 5 Seconds of Summer revealed they listen to Simple Plan during pre-show rituals. Since then the members of both bands got in touch and have already met several times and Simple Plan have been toying with the idea of a possible collaboration between them.

However only yesterday’s events made it clear that there is definitely something in works. Michael Clifford (guitar and back vocals for 5SOS) and Calum Hood (bass guitar and back vocals for 5SOS) officially visited Pierre and Chuck in Chuck’s home studio where they were co-writing some songs for 2 days. Whether the guys were only song-writing together or if we can expect some 5SOS vocal parts on some upcoming songs is yet unclear.

And to top it off, Michael also posted two videos of the guys of 5SOS and SP singing Simple Plan’s “Perfect” together. Check them out here and here.

Simple Plan will be entering the studio in less than 2 weeks, on March 1st 2015.
