“We are really excited to announce the first tour in support of our new album “Taking One For The Team”, coming out on 19th February! These European Shows will be the first of many international tours that we’ll be announcing. We can’t wait for our fans to hear the new album and to be back on the road!”, the band said.
Taking One For The Team is preceded by a trio of new songs, all featured on the forthcoming release. “Boom,” “I Don’t Want To Be Sad,” and the album’s lead single “I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed (feat. Nelly)” are currently available at all DSPs. The companion video for “I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed (feat. Nelly)” was inspired by the popular 90’s TV series “Baywatch” and is highlighted by cameo from the show’s star David Hasselhoff.
Taking One For The Team marks Simple Plan’s first new full length album since 2011’s internationally successful Get Your Heart On!, produced by Brian Howes. Album drew critical applause from all corners. People awarded the album three-out-of-four stars, noting that the band “explore new ground…yet remain edgy”.
Simple Plan has earned widespread acclaim and a global fan following for their genre-defying blend of classic punk energy and modern pop sonics. Since coming together in 1999, the Montreal-based combo has achieved worldwide sales in excess of 7 million, with releases including 2002’s RIAA 2x-platinum debut, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls, 2004’s platinum-certified follow-up, Still Not Getting Any, and 2005’s MTV Hard Rock Live. The band is playing since their formation in line up: Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Chuck Comeau (drums), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar) and Jeff Stinco (guitar).
