Simple Plan among the most anticipated albums of 2011!

“This is probably the hardest we’ve ever worked on an album,” admits Simple Plan drummer Chuck Comeau from Vancouver, Canada, where the band have been holed up on and off since June with producer Brian Howes (Hinder, Boys Like Girls). That’s not to say the Canadian quintet’s previous three releases were uninspired, but the band penned nearly 70 songs for their fourth album, and Comeau says the high output ultimately yielded better results. Among the contenders for the still-untitled disc are “Astronaut,” “You Suck At Love” (which the band road-tested on this past summer’s Bamboozle Roadshow) and “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You,” a collaboration with Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo. “I think people are really going to love these songs,” the drummer gushes. “Fans of our first two records will be really happy.”
