'''Simple Plan''' is a [[Canada|Canadian]] [[pop-punk]] rock band. The band has recently achieved widespread popularity despite receiving little appreciation from [[critic]]s who claim they are [[poser]]s with no creativity, talent, musicianship, or depth. Simple Plan claims that they are just doing what they love and will never stop. On their second [[album]] ''Still Not Getting Any...'' the track "Shut Up" is supposed to be a response to critics.

In [[HTML]] and [[XHTML]], the '''<code>blockquote</code>''' [[HTML element|element]] defines a [[block-quote|block quotation]] within the text. The syntax is <code>&lt;blockquote&gt;blockquoted text goes here&lt;/blockquote&gt;</code>.

The '''<code>blockquote</code>''' element is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source. Using the default HTML styling of most web browsers, it will indent the right and left margins both on the display and in printed form.

==The band==

*Pierre Bouvier (born [[May 9]] [[1979]]) &mdash; vocals

*Charles (Chuck) Comeau (born [[September 17]] [[1979]]) &mdash; drums

*David Desrosiers (born [[August 29]] [[1980]]) &mdash; bass and background vocals

*Sebastien (Seb) Lefebvre (born [[June 5]] [[1981]]) &mdash; guitar and background vocals

*Jean-Francois (Jeff) Stinco (born [[August 22]] [[1978]]) &mdash; lead guitar

It should be noted that in many [[Wiki]] [[Wikitext|markup languages]], this is different from the use of an initial colon in a paragraph, which may be translated into an HTML <code>dd</code> element enclosed within a <code>dl</code> element. (That is a 'data definition' within a 'definition list', without there being any preceding 'data term' or <code>dt</code> element). Other [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] techniques may alternatively be applied. In any case, the intention is usually only to indent the left margin.

''Simple Plan'' came about in stages that began with the founding of ''Reset'', a Canadian punk band, by high-school friends Pierre Bouvier and Charles Comeau at the age of thirteen. ''Reset'' toured around Canada with bands such as ''[[MxPx]]'', ''Ten Foot Pole'', and ''Face to Face'', but only ever gained mild popularity. The debut album was released in [[1997]]. Comeau soon left to go to college, but two years later he hooked up with Jeff Stinco and Sebastien Lefebvre, and again started making music. It was coincidence that brought Comeau and Bouvier back together at a [[Sugar Ray]] concert in late [[1999]], and Bouvier soon left ''Reset'' and joined his old friends. David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in ''Reset'', but when asked to join the foursome, he too left the band and joined the four friends. ''Simple Plan'' was born.

Role Model Clothing, the label that Bouvier and Comeau are often seen sporting, was actually formed before ''Simple Plan'' by Comeau, Bouvier, and their friend Patrick Langlois, who is now responsible for merchandising and the web, as well as being videographer for the band. Langlois and Lefebvre also have their own side project, a label called Man of the Hour, which is just starting out.
