Formation

Simple Plan was formed in 1999 in Montreal, Quebec, after Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau, former members of the punk band Reset, reconnected at a Sugar Ray concert. After Comeau left Reset for college, he brought in high school friends Jeff Stinco and Sébastien Lefebvre to start a new band, with Bouvier leaving Reset shortly afterward to join them.

Bouvier left Reset to join as vocalist, and David Desrosiers replaced him in Reset before joining Simple Plan as bassist six months later. The band considered the name Touchdown 999 before settling on Simple Plan, inspired by the 1998 film of the Same Name. They signed with Lava/Atlantic Records and gained prominence with their debut album in 2002.

Simple Plan became a cornerstone of the 2000s pop-punk scene, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Their debut album, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002) featured hits like “I’m Just a Kid” and “Perfect,” earning multi-platinum status in Canada and the U.S.

They performed at the Vans Warped Tour from 1999 to 2005, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018, and at the 2010 Winter Olympics closing ceremony. Their second album, Still Not Getting Any… (2004), produced by Bob Rock, included “Welcome to My Life” and marked a shift toward mainstream rock.

Subsequent albums like Simple Plan (2008), Get Your Heart On! (2011), Taking One for the Team (2016), and Harder Than It Looks (2022) showcased their evolution, with collaborations featuring artists like Rivers Cuomo and Sean Paul.
