NEW MUSIC: SIMPLE PLAN | WAKE ME UP (WHEN THIS NIGHTMARE OVER)

This past month, they announced their brand new LP "Harder Than It Looks" alongside the celebratory single "Congratulations." The Canadian pop-punk legends, Simple Plan have revealed the album’s opening track, "Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)." The band said of the album, “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.” The new song will indeed prick up the ears of longtime band fans over their twenty-year tenure. Storming in with a radiant, upbeat, pop, punky rhythm, the music instils inner strength and confidence in ourselves that we’ve all been searching for in dark times. As we all come out the other side of this world pandemic, "Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)" mirrors reality and our emotions towards the world. Now with four tracks released, "Harder Than It Looks" sounds like the band has been reigning in feelings that sit firmly with the fans. "Wake Me Up" celebrates inner strength and adversity, and Simple Plan’s previous single "Ruin My Life" did, which also featured Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley.
