Simple Plan Reveal New Album Plans, Talk 5SOS & Warped Tour
Pop-punk is not music that ages well. It's fast and thrives in youth—it's the reason many of the genre's most iconic tunes deal with high school, unrequited crushes (not loves) and parents that just don't understand. In the early to mid-aughts, Canadian punks Simple Plan were the masters of the stuff. No one did it quite as well; over a decade later, we still know all the words to "I'm Just a Kid" and "Perfect."
Simple Plan, however, refuse to dwell on the past. They continue to make impossibly catchy music because they love it. In accepting that necessary growth, they've managed to maintain a popularity that never seems to falter. We sat down with drummer Chuck Comeau and bassist David Desrosiers to talk about the band's relationship with Warped Tour, their upcoming fifth studio album, writing with 5 Seconds of Summer and more.
