“We’re thrilled to share this first look at our documentary. The film captures our journey, struggles, and most memorable moments together. Creating it has been deeply meaningful, and sharing our story is the perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary,” said the band. “‘The Kids in the Crowd’ is about dreaming big and perseverance. It’s a story of friendship, brotherhood, and music’s transformative power. Our hope is that it encourages people to believe in themselves and inspires a new generation of kids to find their passion, follow their hearts, and maybe even start a band in their own garage or basement…just like we did!”
As a companion to the documentary, Amazon Music is offering fans an exclusive early demo version of “I’m Just A Kid”, from the band’s multi-platinum 2002 debut album, ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’. The full soundtrack will launch with the documentary on July 8th. The band is currently on their ‘Bigger Than You Think!’ Headline Tour across North America.
‘Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd’ offers an unprecedented look into the band’s journey from basement shows in Montreal to global stardom. The documentary chronicles the creation of hits like “Welcome to My Life”, “I’d Do Anything”, and “Perfect”, and examines the band’s continued impact as one of the most successful punk rock bands still selling out shows worldwide.
Fans will experience never-before-seen archival footage, along with new interviews with band members and celebrated icons of the punk rock community, including Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland and Noodles (The Offspring), and Fat Mike (NOFX).
The documentary is produced by Sphere Media with executive producers Bruno Dubé, Renaud Chassé, and Marie-Hélène Tremblay, and producer Samuel Sauvageau. Didier Charrette directs.
