NEW YORK (Lava Records) -
Calling all collectors!
Simple Plan, one of the hardest working bands in rock 'n' roll, has a special surprise for their die-hard fans. The band will be releasing their highly anticipated new album "Still Not Getting Any..." featuring a total of three album covers, two of which will be available for a limited run only. In keeping with the band's keen sense of humor, "Still Not Getting Any..."'s limited edition covers feature the band in various stages of aging, while growing old together as a band.
One cover features the band in their 40's, resplendent in plaid pants and golf shirts, while the other shows the band in their 90's, complete with canes, walkers, IV bags and nursing home attire.
"Still Not Getting Any..." also showcases the band's desire to give fans more bang for their buck. Simple Plan will be one of the first to release their album on DualDisc. DualDisc is a two-sided disc made up of a CD on one side and a DVD on the other. In addition to Simple Plan's full album on the CD side, the DVD side provides 20 minutes of exclusive, behind the scenes "making of the album" footage, photo galleries, lyrics, bonus material as well as the entire album available in enhanced sound (such as 5.1 Surround Sound and/or DVD-Audio or LPCM stereo.)
"Still Not Getting Any..." shows a tremendous amount of musical growth for the quintet. The album, produced by veteran producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi), features the undeniably catchy, hook-filled first single "Welcome To My Life." After only three weeks at radio, the single is dominating the airwaves. The track is currently No 33 on the Pop Chart and is already over 11 million in audience and growing. In addition, MTV is heavily supporting Simple Plan and have added "Welcome To My Life" into their Big 10 rotation, which is the channel's highest level of support. Since being added, fans have voted Simple Plan's video clip into the Top 5 on MTV's daily countdown TRL.
Last but not least, Simple Plan recently announced a US headline tour sponsored by Verizon Wireless which commences on October 30th, featuring special guests Mae and Plain White T's. The tour kicks off in Denver and will continue on through November. For more information, go to www.simpleplanconcerts.com and www.simpleplan.com.
Simple Plan is Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Chuck Comeau (drums), David Desrosiers (bass, backing vocals), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar, backing vocals) and Jeff Stinco (lead guitar). The band's debut album, "NO PADS, NO HELMETS...JUST BALLS," was released on Lava Records in 2002 and sold over 2 million albums and spawned several top 10 hits including "I'd Do Anything," "Addicted" and "Perfect."
In addition, Simple Plan were honored in 2003 with a MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best New Artist and won the 2003 & 2004 MuchMusic People's Choice Award.
