Simple Plan’s Background

They signed with Lava and Atlantic and released No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls… in 2002, which set up the early run that made them a household name.2
From the start, Simple Plan had a clear identity: punk energy, tight hooks, and songs aimed well beyond a local scene.2,3
