“The band initially started out being this melancholy, melodic, epic metal band and some of that kind of got lost because I think we more simplified our stuff."

“I think we’ll be forcing it if we go back to a six-piece; things are really working out with the five now."

“People keep mentioning that things are going so good and we don’t even have an album out."

"It’s almost creepy but it’s cool, it’s my ex playing that instrument, and the motion between the record is this memory of her, and she was a big part of 2012.”

“Our album comes out on Monday so I’m just fucking busy as anything. I’m in my home town for the first time in about six months and back to London this afternoon to prepare.”

“The first time we played it we just sat on the same kind of groove for, like, 45 minutes and we were just like, ‘This is insane!’”

“The new record is pretty drastically different, it’s like a fully fledged hip hop record; not Aussie hip hop at all, it’s like this punk, MC5/Beastie Boys/De La Soul – it’s legit!"

“My message doesn’t really change year by year – it’s more about the philosophy behind music and art and culture. I want more kids today to stand up for what they believe in – even if that’s not straightforward.”

Whiskey gods J&B have just launched their brand new Mash-Up range.

They were probably partly responsible for your high school soundtrack and they may even still be responsible for the soundtrack of high schoolers today. Simple Plan have been around for fourteen years with four albums and the same line-up the entire time. Heading our way soon for the Warped tour, Killyourstereo.com caught up with drummer Chuck Comeau to talk about the band's longevity and future plans.

“There are some songs that have literally 30 riffs in them and we’re like, ‘Oh my god, another riff? This song is still going? Jesus Christ, what are we doing here’. It’s been a challenge.”
