For a band built on emotional honesty, Simple Plan have delivered their most personal project yet. We sat down with drummer and co-founder Chuck Comeau to talk all things The Kids In The Crowd, a new documentary that tracks their journey from teenage Montreal punks to global pop-punk icons.
Watch Simple Plan’s ‘The Kids In The Crowd’ documentary on Prime Video here!
Years in the making, the film dives deep into their archives, some footage had been sitting in boxes for over two decades. “It was definitely a mix of emotions,” Chuck told us. “Some of it made us laugh. Some of it made us cringe”.
Chuck Comeau Interview
A Who’s Who Of Pop/Punk
Featuring heartfelt interviews with Mark Hoppus, Fat Mike and many more, the film isn’t just a nostalgia trip, it’s a story of survival and endurance. Chuck gets candid about moments when the band nearly broke up, the early days hustling in vans and how TikTok helped ‘I’m Just A Kid’ explode with a new generation!
Nothing Changes And Scooby Doo
Their latest single ‘Nothing Changes’ is like a mission statement, part time capsule and part anthem. Proving there is plenty of fuel left in the tank and there are no signs of slowing down. You know we had to cover their Scooby Doo theme cover and where that ranks in Chuck’s favourite career moments.
