AUTHOR: Dominika | 22. December 2020 | no comments

We’re kicking off the 2021 related news with some good news for a change – I’m sure many will appreciate that. Especially the hardcore Simple Plan fans and avid SP memorabilia collectors.

Reset’s (band where Pierre and Chuck started before forming Simple Plan) demo tape from 1995 ‘Concerned’, which after years of having only been available on a cassette, got finally remastered and released on a CD in 2019, will finally get the vinyl treatment, just like the rest of the Reset albums previously have (‘No Limits’ and ‘No Worries’). The vinyl will be released on March 21st 2021 in three different color versions: clear, milky clear and light blue.

The vinyl will include these 5 tracks:

1. Concern
2. Wagon
3. T.K.O.
4. Go Away
5. American Way

Here’s what Simple Plan’s official biography says about the original 1995 recording and release of this Reset ‘Concerned’ demo tape, which Chuck and Pierre were a part of:

Sound engineer Rod Shearer produced the boys’ first truly professional recording session, which took place over two days, April 22 and 23 (1995). Nick Farkas recalls: “They did almost all of it in one or two takes, that’s how well-prepared they were! Pierre’s voice was right on key.” The cassette was astonishingly popular: more than 5 000 copies were sold, adding to Reset’s notoriety. “It was a ridiculously high number of sales for a four-song demo recorded with $400! But for what it was, it sounded pretty good!” says Nick.

If you want to complete your Simple Plan/Reset collection, make sure to not wait too long – there are only 100 copies of each color of the vinyl available, making this total of 300 Concerned vinyl a very limited edition. You can pre-order each of the vinyls separately or get a bundle of all three colors at People of Punk Rock Records.

Montebello Rockfest reunited original members of Reset again

AUTHOR: Dominika | 17. June 2018 | no comments

On Friday night, the attendees of Canada’s largest rock festival – the Montebello Rockfest, were able to witness a remarkable reunion of the former members of Reset. If you’ve been following Simple Plan for a while, you know that Reset was founded by two members of Simple Plan – Pierre and Chuck, who later quit the band and eventually started Simple Plan instead. In the meantime, Reset replaced the lead singer Pierre with a newcomer David Desrosiers, who Simple Plan in the end also stole for their own project.

With David still being unable to perform due to his illness, it was Pierre and Chuck, who the fans were able to see perform at this Reset reunion at Montebello Rockfest – and it was a sight to see.

In just a few hours, the Canadian punk rock band Reset, who’s former members included not just one but three members of Simple Plan (Chuck, Pierre and David), will be reuniting tonight at Montebello Rockfest again – just for one special show.

In order to make sure everyone was prepared to rock the Rockfest tonight, the former members, including Chuck and Pierre got together in Frank Joly’s studio to practice their old songs from the albums No Worries and No Limits. You can check out some of the pictures Frank took at the rehearsal in the past 2 days in our gallery, but below you can check out a compilation of Instagram Stories by Chuck, Pierre and Frank from this rehearsal and catch the first glimpse of what tonight’s reunion show might be like. Which Reset songs would you like them to perform?

Reset reunion to take place next week at Montebello Rockfest: set time announced

AUTHOR: Dominika | 10. June 2018 | 1 comment

The news about the upcoming Reset reunion [read more about Reset here] that will take place once again at the largest music festival in Canada – Montebello Rockfest – first came a couple months ago.

Back then, however, we had no idea whether we could expect all former Reset members, who are currently in Simple Plan, to take part in this show, or not. Thanks to Pierre’s confirmation on his Instagram Stories and with David still not feeling well enough to tour with Simple Plan, it is now clear that we can only expect Pierre and Chuck to make an appearance at Montebello Rockfest next week assumingly alongside their other former bandmates from Reset.

The promoters of Montebello Rockfest have now revealed the official schedule of all three days of the festival and it turns out that Reset will be performing on the second day, Friday, June 15th as the last band to perform that day – at 00:45 on the Tony Sly stage (so technically already on Saturday). Their set is scheduled to last a full hour and will clash only with the last half of the Prophets of Rage set.

Remind yourselves of the last time Reset made a full band reunion at Montebello Rockfest (then known as Amnesia Rockfest) in 2014:
