Simple Plan is a punk rock/punk pop band from Montreal, Canada. Simple Plan started out as "Reset" with their lead singer, Pierre Bouvier, and drummer, Chuck Comeau. Chuck eventually left Reset and Pierre left soon after. Pierre was then replaced with Simple Plan's bassist, David Desrosiers. Pierre, Chuck and 2 of their high-school friends, Seb Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco, started a new band called "Canadian Plan" Not long after they started the band, they asked David to join and yeah... Simple Plan was born! And we are all very happy for that! Simple Plan began in 1995 with the formation of a band named Reset by high-school friends Pierre Bouvier, Charles-Andre (Chuck) Comeau and Adrian White. Reset toured around Canada with bands such as MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face, but only managed to gain modest popularity. The debut album, No Wories, was released in 1997, and Comeau left soon after to go to college. Two years later he met Jean-Francois (Jeff) Stinco and Sebastien (Seb) Lefebvre, and again started making music. In late 1999, Comeau and Bouvier reaquainted at a Sugar Ray concert and Bouvier left Reset soon after to join Comeau. David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in Reset, but when asked to join the foursome, he too left the band. This allowed Bouvier, who had doubled as the band's frontman and bassist, to concentrate on the singing. --- In 2002, Simple Plan released their first studio album, No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls which led to the singles, "I'm Just a Kid", "I'd Do Anything", "Addicted", and "Perfect". Simple Plan is noted as saying that they were aiming at a pure pop-punk record. The record came in many different versions with slightly different track listings. For example, the U.S. release contained the extra songs "Grow Up", and "My Christmas List", while the UK release contained the extra songs "American Jesus", as well as the two music videos, "I'd Do Anything" and "I'm Just a Kid". The record also contained vocals from singers from other pop-punk bands as "I'd Do Anything" included vocals by Mark Hoppus from Blink-182, and "You Don't Mean Anything" included vocals by Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. In 2003, the band played as a headliner on the Vans Warped Tour. The same year, they opened for Avril Lavigne on her "Try To Shut Me Up" Tour. In addition to several headlining tours, they have also opened for Green Day and Good Charlotte. --- In 2004, Simple Plan released their second studio album, Still Not Getting Any... which led to the singles, "Welcome to My Life", "Shut Up!", "Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me)", and "Crazy". As mentioned before, when writing "No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls", the members of Simple Plan were aiming at a pure pop-punk record. This time however, when writing "Still Not Getting Any...", the members of Simple Plan are noted as to saying that they were not liming themselves to the punk genre, but rather letting themselves write "good music". "Still Not Getting Any..." showed a dramatic change in Simple Plan's style as well. They still kept their style of downbeat lyrics matched to upbeat music, but managed to transcend from the standard pop-punk genre. Although many of the tracks on this CD still carry the feeling of teen angst that is probably most noticeable in the song "I'm Just a Kid" from the first album No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, the general slant of this album tends toward slightly deeper and more mature lyrical themes, as well as a more mainstream sound that edges away from the pure pop-punk style of their last album. In 2005, Simple Plan also released the live album, MTV Hard Rock Live which contained songs from both the previous albums. The album came in two different versions — a standard one, and a fan pack edition. The standard edition included audio of the whole performance, an acoustic version of Crazy, two live videos of the performance of the first two songs "Jump" and "Shut Up!", and a small booklet of picturest of the performance. The fan pack edition which contained audio and video of the whole performance in 5.1 surround sound, three acoustic tracks for "Crazy", "Welcome To My Life", and "Perfect", a 32-Page Color Tour Book, and an exclusive SP Patch and pin .
