Last Tuesday, Quebec punk rock band Simple Plan announced on their website that they’ve begun pre-production work on a new album at a studio in Vancouver.
"So what exactly is happening during pre-production?" asks the post.
"Well, there are over 65 songs written and demo-ed for the album, way more than they ever wrote before for any of the previous albums. Now the guys are looking at all the songs to make sure sure they are good to go, and narrowing down the list of songs they want to record.
The members of Simple Plan began writing songs for this new album, which is as yet untitled, last January. The record is produced by Brian Howes (Hedley, Puddle Of Mudd).
Before the album’s release, the band will complete a world tour that includes a date in China on july 18, and subsequent dates on their home turf in Quebec before they leave for europe in September.
