Simple Plan just released a full version of one of the promo pictures for their 2016 album Taking One For The Team, which were taken by Chapman Baehler and which also appeared in Rock Sound magazine last year.
Check out the full version of this photoshoot in the gallery:
When in Argentina last December, Simple Plan did an interview with MTV Latin America, in which they discussed their latest release “Taking One For The Team” and its appeal to both the old-school fans as well as their newer ones. Besides their new record, the boys also talked about Argentina and what they love about this country.
Check out the full interview below:
Thanks to Fred Jerome, Simple Plan’s graphic designer, a series of brand new never-seen-before shots from the behind the scenes of the sport-themed Taking One For The Team photoshoot, which you can now see on TOFTT’s album art, were recently published on his website.
The photoshoot [you can check out the final pictures from it here], which was once again executed by the photographer Chapman Baehler, took place in Canada in the summer of 2015, that means about half a year before the release of the record.
Have a look at these new pictures from the making of this unforgettable photoshoot in our gallery:
The popular British magazine Rock Sound revealed the first batch of their TOP 50 albums released in 2016 along with a short description/review of each of them.
Simple Plan’s ‘Taking One For The Team’ has obviously made it to the list – at #46, this is what Rock Sound had to say about the band’s fifth record:
“These pop-punk veterans proved they could still hang in 2016. Simple Plan’s first album in half a decade was full of youthful energy and naivety, and boasted guest vocalists ranging from New Found Glory to Nelly. A collection of high octane pop-rock anthems that weren’t big and were by no means clever, but damn, they were catchy.”
Yesterday we learned that the French Virgin Radio named Simple Plan among their TOP 10 rock records of 2016 and today we have Simple Plan on yet another “best of 2016” list!
The U.S. website CrypticRock published a number of “TOP 5” lists for every possible genre of music and Simple Plan’s newest record ‘Taking One For The Team’ was named among the TOP 5 pop-punk albums of 2016!
The website wrote the following about TOFTT:
“Surely a hit, Simple Plan have once again outdone themselves. With yet another brilliant album, Taking One For The Team just might be their best yet. Surely everything it was expected to be and more, nothing screams Simple Plan like beautiful artistry with pure Pop Punk passion.” – CrypicRock
