On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is bringing you an encore episode of his conversation with Pierre Bouvier of ⁠Simple Plan⁠.

⁠⁠Simple Plan⁠⁠ grew from pop-punk underdogs to genre heroes over the course of six studio albums.

In addition to racking up collabs with members of blink-182, Sum 41, and Weezer, the Canadian vets have played on over a dozen Warped Tours and created pop-punk essentials through early tracks like “Welcome to My Life” and “I’m Just a Kid.”

The latter experienced a viral moment through TikTok at the beginning of the decade, challenging people to recreate childhood photos as adults and post the results, which featured participation from Will Smith, Ed Sheeran, and beyond.

Given that their friendship stretches back to the 2000s, the duo get into it all across a nearly hour-long episode.

Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at ⁠⁠Veeps⁠⁠.
