In a new video published by Alternative Press, Joel Madden (Good Charlotte), Jordan Pundik (New Found Glory) and Pierre Bouvier (Simple Plan) got together on Zoom to discuss the upcoming ‘Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead’ tour that Simple Plan and New Found Glory are going on together starting end of August.
Besides the new tour, Joel also asked the two musicians about possible new music of both bands, which is when Pierre confirmed that fans who will be attending the ‘Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead’ will likely be in for a treat for some sneak peeks from the new Simple Plan album, as the band should have some material out by then.
Check out what he said about it and the new Simple Plan album:
Yeah, I’m thinking that we’re gonna have new music out for the tour as well. But I’m not 100 percent sure, but I think at that point we gotta be putting out some stuff that we’ve been sitting on. So, I’m excited for people to hear it. […] We’ve always felt true to what we sound like and pop-punk runs through my veins […] but our stuff sounds like old-school Simple Plan but with a modern twist to it. And we always have a couple of curve-balls, we can’t help ourselves. Simple Plan always like to put a song on there that the true hardcore fans will be like ‘What the fuck is this?’ so… we’ll see how that turns out.”

Combine all the greatest emo/alternative/pop-punk/any other nostalgic hits of the late 90s and all of 00s, bring is a few tears, a bit of dancing and a whole lot of a concert atmosphere and what you get is Emo Nite. Or else – try imagining going to a club, but they only had all your favorite pop-punk songs on. And that’s exactly that Emo Nite’s are for: bringing together emo & alternative kids of the late 90s and early 00s and promising the night of their life – sometimes with the help of a few guest DJs.
