Simple Plan announce new album ‘Harder Than It Looks’

SIMPLE PLAN have announced a new album!

Titled Harder Than It Looks, the upcoming album from the Canadian pop-punk band is the follow-up to 2016’s Taking One For The Team, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via self-release.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we’re incredibly excited to finally share this news with our fans who have waited so patiently for this album. We poured our hearts and souls into these new songs and we’re so proud of this record. More than 20 years into our career, we love being in this band more than ever and still have the same passion for playing music and writing songs together that we’ve had since day one.

We made a classic, quintessential SIMPLE PLAN record that our fans will absolutely love and it was amazing to go back to our roots and unapologetically embrace what has made this band special to so many people: fun, catchy, honest and emotional songs that will make you feel less alone, put a smile on your face and give you hope. We truly can’t wait for the world to hear these new songs and to play them live everywhere.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Congratulations. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from the release of Ruin My Life and The Antidote.
