French Canadian rockers Simple Plan from Montreal, Quebec formed in 1999. Comprised of five members Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Chuck Comeau (drums), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar), Jeff Stinco (lead guitar), the boys have released five studio albums. In 2002, the debut album “No Pads, No Helmets, Just Balls” was released. “Still Not Getting Any” was released in 2004 which was their second album. Up next was the self titled album “Simple Plan” in 2008. 2011, the fourth album “Get Your Heart On” was released. The fifth studio album which was released this year (2016) “Take One For The Team” has been the best album yet.
“Take One For The Team” that just dropped last week has been by far the best album the band has done thus far. I thought all of their other albums were decent, but this one I knew was going to be epic because last year I got to hear “Boom” and just knew oh this is going to be different then previous albums. My top two favorite songs are “Opinion Overload”, and “Boom” 🙂 Check this album out if you haven’t yet.
Let’s talk Warped Tour now. 🙂 From 2001-2005, 2011, 2013, and 2015 are all the years the band has played, and they also played at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Last Summer, my girl and I had the chance to attend our very first Vans Warped Tour at The Palace in Auburn Hills. Let me tell you was it a day devoted to meeting Simple Plan lol. I mean don’t get me wrong we went around and saw some pretty good bands, but before we hit the two main stages we waited in line to meet the guys. Now for me when meeting artists/bands I’m not a crazy fan like most people I’m myself, and so I was nervous that HC was going to act like a 5 year old and melt into a puddle of Heather and then I’d have a hard time explaining that to her BF lol, but luckily that didn’t happen and we were both surprised. This band we both grew up listening to, and so when we met them and got autographs and saw that they were really chill and awesome I was like holy crap this was so worth it. After the meet and greet we headed up to the two main stages and when Simple Plan came out and performed “Boom” and some of their old songs I knew that regardless of whether I was obsessed with them or not that that day was more than worth it and if I could go ser them again I would. That was one of the best days I had had in a long time and I was glad I got to share it with one of my best friends for life! ❤
