Music: Simple Plan

Hi! I’m going to talk about a band that I love. Simple Plan is a Canadian quintet of punk-pop which is formed by Pierre Bouvier,singer, Jeff Stinco, guitar, Sèbastien Lefebvre, guitar and choirs, David Dasrosiers, bass and choirs and Chuck Comeau drum. With only thirteen years, in 1992, Pierre and Chuck formed a band called "Reset" with two friends. Chuck left the band to focus on studies, and later he realized his mistake and created another project, "Simple Plan", with two friends, Sèbastien and Jeff. They needed a singer, but they didn’t find any that they liked. By chance, Chuck run into Pierre and he accepted to get in the band. He started playing bass and singing, but what he wanted was singing and be closer to the public, because of it they contacted with David, who was replacing Pierre in "Reset" to play the bass in “Simple Plan”. Their lyrics speak about topics related to adolescence.

After several tours in Canada and having recorded some demos in 2002, Lava agreed to publish their first album: "No pads, no helmets ... just balls", involving two good friends of the band: Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) and Mark Hoppus (Blink-182). They managed to earn the young North American public, and only in the USA they sold more than one million and a half copies. The connection of the band with their fans was the result of their devotion to the street and to concerts. Three years later, in 2005 Simple Plan got "Still not getting any ... " their second album. In less than a year, Simple Plan visited all five continents and played over 300 shows. In 2008, Simple Plan show us their new album "Simple Plan", showing maturity in their lyrics. In 2005, they created “The Simple Plan Foundation” to help kids with problems like poverty, drugs and suicide.
