Pierre Bouvier to sing on Faber Drive’s song “Too Little Too Late”

AUTHOR: Dominika | 13. August 2013 | 1 comment


Simple Plan’s connection to the Canadian band Faber Drive goes way back – starting with the Canadian tour back in 2008 when Faber Drive along with Metro Station and Cute Is What We Aim For opened for Simple Plan. After that Chuck and Pierre kept in touch with the band and did a couple of co-writing sessions here and there which turned into a couple songs on the next few Faber Drive’s albums being co-written by them [read more about these collaborations with FD here]

Last year Faber Drive released their third studio album entitled “Lost In Paradise” which also featured the song “Too Little, Too Late” which was one of those co-written by Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan which has recently been called the band’s next single. Today it has been officially announced that the single would not only be released on iTunes on August 27th but would also be featuring Pierre Bouvier himself!

And while we’re still waiting for the new version of “Too Little, Too Late” to be released, here you can check out what the original version (without Pierre) sounds like:

MKTO working with Chuck Comeau in the studio!

Just because Simple Plan have a little time off right now, doesn’t mean they’re not working. For example Chuck spent last day not only hanging out with the band MKTO, but according to the band’s tweet, they also have a collaboration in works with him – most probably writing a song together.

MKTO is a two-piece California based band that consists of Tony Oller and Malcolm Kelley – both previously actors, most notably Malcolm, who played the mysterious Walt in the TV show LOST. The band has recently been on the spotlight because of their song for their first single “Thank You” which has gone viral on the Internet (make sure to check out the music video – and if you’re a fan of LOST, look for all the references!)

One of the reasons why this collaboration may have even started in the first place is that MKTO already have one connection with Simple Plan – they wrote “Thank You” with Emanuel Kiriakou and Evan “Kidd” Bogart, who have also been writing with Simple Plan on their new material.

You can check out more pictures of Chuck hanging out with the guys from MKTO and also with Joey from New Kids On The Block yesterday in the gallery.

Faber Drive’s new album with Pierre’s and Chuck’s collaboration is out

Just like it was with their last album “Can’t Keep A Secret”, for which the Canadian band Faber Drive invited Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan to co-write a couple of songs, the band invited the boys from Simple Plan again, to help them with their third studio record, called “Lost In Paradise”.

And even though Chuck says him and Pierre co-wrote only two songs for Faber Drive’s new album – that is “Do It In Hollywood” and “Too Little, Too Late”, according to this sneak peak of the “Lost In Paradise” booklet, you can see that Chuck and Pierre also worked on a song called “Set It Off”, meaning that out of 10 songs on this record, Chuck and Pierre co-wrote three of them.

“Lost In Paradise” was released on iTunes today, where you can either purchase it or (if you’re still hesitating) you can also check out previews of all of the songs on the record.

Simple Plan songwriting with Christina Parie

After their Australian tour, Simple Plan became good friends with a local singer (and former X Factor contestant), Christina Parie, who got their attention after they saw her cover version of Jet Lag on YouTube and invited her to tour with them as the female singer on the song in Australia.

Christina is now in LA, which is “coincidentally” where Pierre flew yesterday and Chuck today, and according to one of her tweets, she will be meeting up with the guys tomorrow for a songwriting session. Most probably though it will be Christina’s song, not Simple Plan’s.
