On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan.\nSimple Plan grew from pop-punk underdogs to genre heroes over the course of six studio albums.\nIn 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 \u201cWelcome to My Life\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m Just a Kid.\u201d\nThe 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.\nGiven that their friendship stretches back to the 2000s, the duo get into it all across a nearly hour-long episode.\nListen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.\xa0\n-------\n\nHost: Joel Madden, @joelmadden\nExecutive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King\nProducers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary\nVisual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer\nAudio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray\nMusic/Theme Composer: Nick Gray\nCover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer\nAdditional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman\nLearn more about your ad choices.
