Multi-platinum selling rock band Simple Plan have dropped a heartwarming music video for their current single, ‘The Anitdote’. This single was released at this end of last year; the band’s first new music in two years, produced Zack Cervini (who has worked alongside many including: Blink-192, Machine Gun Kelly and Halsey but to name a few).
The video follows a young couple over the years, each verse taking the couple forward in time as they go around the neighbourhood. The end is a perfect blend of lyrical reality – emphasising how everyone has that antidote whether it be a person or song. That Simple Plan could be/and is for many ‘The Antidote’, their music enabling us to feel like we fit in.
“For a lot of our fans and for us, it’s been music Its power to heal, comfort and be a lifeline has never been greater and more needed than now. We hope this song will hit home with our fans and help them deal with the difficult moments we’re all facing.”
The band have remained an international sensation for over two decades (with worldwide sales and Tik Tok Trends #ImJustAKidChallenge) with a loyal fan base supporting them. For the band it’s not about sales or numbers but the personal connection. This latest release is a testament to this.
