Simple Plan updated their new Instagram profile with a never-seen-before picture from the main photoshoot for the Get Your Heart On! album, where the band used a couple of bands and music groups from history as an inspiration. On the newly added picture, the band imitated RUN DMC:
Today we are commemorating the 3rd anniversary of the release of Simple Plan’s latest studio record – Get Your Heart On! This record, more commonly reffered to among fans as “GYHO” was released on June 21st 2011 as a follow-up to the band’s self-titled album (released 2008). The standard edition of this album includes 11 tracks. Various other versions then include bonus tracks such as the French version of Jet Lag (feat. Marie-Mai), the Sean Paul version of Summer Paradise or the bonus song Never Should’ve Let You Go that was recorded during the process of the making of the band’s third album. In 2013 the band then released an EP called “Get Your Heart On: The Second Coming” with additional 5 songs that didn’t make it to the actual GYHO album.
To celebrate 3 years of GYHO, let’s watch the following video in which Simple Plan first revealed the release date of “Get Your Heart On!” for the first time:
I’m sure you all still remember the awesomeness that was the photoshoot for the album cover of Simple Plan last studio record – “Get Your Heart On!”. In this photoshoot, which was taken by Chapman Baehler in 2011, the boys immitated 4 famous old bands and groups – such as The Ramones, RUN DMC, The Beach Boys and Wham!
Besides the pictures that you’re all familiar with, the guys took a lot more and now thanks to CSP you can check out a couple more never seen before shots from the “Get Your Heart On!” photoshoot in the gallery! Enjoy:
During Simple Plan’s visit of the “En Mode Salvail” show yesterday, the show’s Facebook page has been updated with three very exclusive pictures of Simple Plan that you can now check out below.
It’s rather extraordinary that the first one is out (even though it’s censored) – because if you remember any of the interviews Simple Plan did during their promotion of the SP book, they said countless of times that some of the pictures they couldn’t post in the book were the ones taken at the Playboy Mansion – so now you can check one out that also features Chuck Comeau and Frank Borin. The second picture is from the behind the scenes of the Get Your Heart On! photoshoot with the guys naked behind a surf board. And last but definitely not the least, we finally have a colorful version of Chuck’s old high school picture. Enjoy:
In a recent interview for Le Journal De Quebec, Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan discussed the band’s plans on releasing an EP consisted of a few songs (some newly written, some that haven’t made it onto the previous record) – that they want to release either by the end of 2013 or at the beginning of 2014 and also metioned the works on Simple Plan’s fifth studio album.
“We already started working on it. It will intensify in September, we will dedicate ourselves 100% to the composition of the new songs. I have no idea how long it will take, but we will try to be in the studio maybe next spring. If we are realistic, we might release it around the beginning of 2015.”
And while it is still very early to talk about which direction the band wants to take their music with their next studio album, according to Chuck, we might see some similarities with Get Your Heart On! (2011).
“We really found that there was a balance on the last album between the more emotional tracks and the very fast pop punk songs, and they represented a good mix. I think for the next record, it will be a bit in the same vein.”
What are your thoughts on what the next Simple Plan record should be like? Would you like more fast up-beat pop punk songs, more emotional songs or will you be happy with a mix of both?
