Simple Plan – No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls (LP Vinyl)

$29.95

Montreal's Simple Plan arrived at a pivotal moment, when pop-punk was crossing from underground staple to mainstream phenomenon, and this debut captured that precise voltage before the formula calcified into cliché. Tracks like "I'm Just a Kid" and "Perfect" became generational shorthand for a certain kind of suburban frustration, earning the band a devoted following that has held for over two decades.

Simple Plan's 2002 debut studio album, No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, produced by Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, King's X), features 12 irresistible anti-anthems of adolescent alienation, each one fit to burst with unstoppable hooks, melodic punk vocalizing, and shout-it-out-loud choruses. Available on limited-edition crystal-clear vinyl.
