The band has entered into a partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and will attach a message from the organization to the end of the “Untitled” video, according to a spokesperson for SP’s label, Lava Records. “Traffic crashes are the #1 killer of teens, and nearly one-third of teen traffic deaths are… Read more »

Perhaps Simple Plan and Good Charlotte will spend their upcoming co-headlining tour discussing the works of existentialist Jean-Paul Sarte or decrying the appointment of ultraconservative Paul Wolfowitz as the head of the World Bank. Because, wow, both groups have gotten plenty serious all of a sudden. It all started last week, when Good Charlotte filmed the woe-is-the-world video for their new single, “We Believe”.
