The tights between Simple Plan and their fellow Canadian band Faber Drive have always been very strong. The two first met on Simple Plan’s Canadian tour in 2008 where Faber Drive were opening for them along with Metro Station and Cute Is What We Aim For. After that Faber Drive have invited Pierre and Chuck for many song-writing sessions which resulted into two songs being co-written by the members of Simple Plan on Faber Drive’s second album Can’t Keep A Secret (songs „Our Last Goodbye“ and „G-Get Up And Dance“) and three songs on their latest record Lost In Paradise (songs “Set It Off”, “Too Little, Too Late” and “Do It In Hollywood”).
It’s needless to say that the guys from Faber Drive keep talking very positively about Simple Plan and in a recent interview for CanadianBlast.com they even named them on the top of the list of 5 artists they would put into their dream festival line-up.
Check out an excerpt from the interview below:
