New project due May 6th

Simple Plan has announced their highly anticipated new album Harder Than It Looks for CD and LP on May 6th via its own self-titled label. They have also shared a new single called “Congratulations”. Harder Than It Looks marks the band’s first release since 2016’s Taking One For The Team. Pre-orders include instant grat tracks of “Congratulations,” “The Antidote” and “Ruin My Life.”

“We’re incredibly excited to finally share this news with our fans who have waited so patiently for this album. We poured our hearts and souls into these new songs and we’re so proud of this record,” the band shares in a statement.

They continue, “More than 20 years into our career, we love being in this band more than ever and still have the same passion for playing music and writing songs together that we’ve had since day one.

“We made a classic, quintessential Simple Plan record that our fans will absolutely love and it was amazing to go back to our roots and unapologetically embrace what has made this band special to so many people: fun, catchy, honest and emotional songs that will make you feel less alone, put a smile on your face and give you hope.

“We truly can’t wait for the world to hear these new songs and to play them live everywhere.”

Fans can look forward to hearing new music live this spring as Simple Plan hits the road for the Blame Canada Tour with Sum 41. The first leg kicks off on April 29th and will feature support from Set It Off. The second leg featuring Magnolia Park starts on July 29th.
