Daily Tribune<\/i> published<\/a> an interview with Jeff Stinco today, in which the lead guitarist of Simple Plan discussed the band’s current No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls 15th anniversary tour and its extraordinary success. And while SP are still working on how to bring this tour to as many countries as possible [in fact they just announced the second leg of the U.S. tour<\/a> for this summer and a Canadian leg of the tour should be announced<\/a> very soon], the time has slowly come for them to start thinking about their next record<\/b>.<\/p>\n

And according to Jeff – they already are:<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re talking about it. We\u2019re hoping to get it to the studio at the end of the year.<\/b> The problem is that with this band touring is pretty intensive and writing on the road is something we\u2019re not very good at. At the end of the original \u2018No Pads\u2019 tour we had a second bus, a studio bus; The goal was to write songs and record them, but it ended up being the party bus. Nothing was recorded and it cost a lot of money to party. We learned a lot from that experience.”<\/i>

As you can see, even though Jeff is hinting on the fact that the band may start working on something record-related by the end of the year, he is also being fairly realistic: Simple Plan still have a lot more places to go this year with the No Pads tour and it would be extremely surprising to us all if Pierre and Chuck found any time to write songs in this crazy schedule. And typically, the song-writing duo spends over a year song-writing before the whole band actually hits the studio. So end of 2017 doesn’t really seem to be that realistic<\/b>. <\/p>\n

At the same time, however, we know that Pierre and Chuck can write amazing songs when they’re put under the pressure of time<\/b>: we’ve seen that recently with their final quick pop-punk sessions in November 2015, out of which came songs like ‘I Refuse’, ‘Nostalgic’ or ‘Farewell’ and we’ve also seen it happen after the original tour for NPNHJB, when SP had just a short time to record their second record in order not to lose their momentum, which they got thanks to the success of their first record. And I dare say they may be in such momentum right now – once again thanks to No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls – except 15 years later. <\/p>\n
