Simple Plan is a French Canadian pop/rock band formed in Montréal, Québec. They began with the formation of the Canadian punk band Reset in 1993, by high-school friends Pierre Bouvier and Charles-André (Chuck) Comeau. Reset toured around Canada with bands such as MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face, but only managed to gain modest popularity. Soon after their debut album was released, Comeau left to go to college but two years later he hooked up with Jean-François (Jeff) Stinco and Sébastien Lefebvre, and again started making music. |
