\"\" Joe DeAndrea<\/i> from AbsolutePunk did another extensive interview with Chuck a couple days ago and as always, it’s a piece you’ll definitely want to read.<\/p>\n

In the interview Chuck opened up about the negative backlash<\/b> their early releases for this record (namely mostly “Saturday”) received online and the hard times the band had to go through mainly because of that. He also mentioned a different strategy the band is taking with the single that will be marketed for the U.S., which should be “Singing In The Rain”<\/b>, a song with more of a reggae vibe, which will be featuring R. City<\/b> (this is also the first interview where Chuck talks about this interesting collaboration). Besides this collab, Chuck also discussed how the featurings with Jordan Pundik and Juliet Simms came about and the differences between having a guest write his own parts and writing them ahead for him\/her. <\/p>\n

Another big topic of were the interview were the styles that can be found on the album – mostly ballads, pop-punk songs, pop songs and “weird” songs. Chuck spoke about how in the summer the band had most of the record ready but eventually realized they were missing some traditional classic Simple Plan songs, more in the pop-punk genre<\/b>, which resulted in the pop-punk song-writing sessions, which produced three more songs on the album: “Opinion Overload”<\/b>, “Farewell”<\/b> and “Nostalgic”<\/b>. <\/p>\n
