Simple Plan was formed in 1999 in Montreal, Quebec. The band’s lineup includes Pierre Bouvier (lead vocals, studio bass guitar), Chuck Comeau (drums), Jeff Stinco (lead guitar), and Sébastien Lefebvre (rhythm guitar, backing vocals). All four current members are also founding members of the band. The only line-up change Simple Plan has had is former bassist, David Desrosiers. Desrosiers joined the band in early 2000 and left in July 2020 due to sexual misconduct accusations.
Simple Plan has released six studio albums since 2002 including No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002), Still Not Getting Any… (2004), Simple Plan (2008), Get Your Heart On! (2011), Taking One for the Team (2016), and Harder Than It Looks (2022). They have also released two live albums.
Simple Plan formed the Simple Plan Foundation in 2005. The foundation focuses on teen problems ranging from suicide to poverty to drug addiction and has raised over 2 million dollars.
