    Simple Plan
    Jul 27 2025

    On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with one of the most iconic rock bands of the early 2000s, known for the viral hits “Perfect” and “I’m Just A Kid,” features on various popular movie soundtracks, and a decorated 25-year career that’s still going strong … Simple Plan! They get into the member’s roots and early music days in Canada, the Montreal punk scene, and recording the band’s legendary debut album, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls. They also talk about losing a Sony record deal, the stories behind hit songs like “Perfect,” “Reset,” and “I’m Just A Kid,” memorable performances at Warped Tour, and touring with Avril Lavigne. They close by talking about producer Bob Rock, the band’s perfect album, and listing the best Canadian bands. Tune into a fun, full-band interview with Simple Plan!

    And check out the band's Lipps Service: Live Sessions in-studio performances of "Perfect," "I'm Just A Kid," and "Welcome To My Life" on our YouTube.
