biography
This Montreal-based punk-pop five-piece came together in the mid-'90s when singer Pierre Bouvier and drummer Chuck Comeau founded rowdy punk outfit Reset at the age of 13. Reset released a highly lauded debut in 1997, gained moderate success in Canada and toured the country with bands MxPx, Face To Face and Ten Foot Pole. Soon, the two left the band to go back to school but two years later, Comeau put his studies on hold to start making music again with high school friends and guitarists Jeff Stinco and Sebastien Lefebvre. Bouvier and Comeau reunited at a Sugar Ray show in late 1999 and it wasn't long before Bouvier and another former Reset member, bassist David Desrosiers, joined the newly named band, Simple Plan.
The group played the annual Vans Warped Tour in 2001 as well as Toronto's Snow Jam and headed back into the studio in 2002 to make their Lava Records debut No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, produced by Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven) featuring 12 spunky tracks about adolescent issues like the teen angst-ridden "I'm Just A Kid," the MTV TRL favorite "I'd Do Anything" which features Blink-182's Mark Hoppus on backing vocals and "You Don't Mean Anything" with added vocals by Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.
After the debut release, Simple Plan rocked five continents and played more than 300 shows within a year's time, even selling out their first ever tour of Japan. Since then, the band has picked up a load of fans, appeared on MTV's TRL, and went gold in their home country of Canada as well as Japan. Simple Plan is all about sticking to their simple agenda of working hard, playing hard, and connecting with the fans who are their very own peers.

addicted lyrics
I heard you're doing ok
But I want you to know
I'm a dick
I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?
I tried to make you happy but you left anyway
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over
can't forget what you said
and I never wanna do this again
Heartbreaker
Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
I'm still a dick
I'm addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this?
I tried to make you happy
I did all that I could
Just to keep you
But you left anyway
How long will I be waiting?
Until the end of times
I don't know why I'm still waiting
I can't make you mine
Heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you
