Simple Plan - No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls

Simple Plan’s debut album, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls, is a pop-punk powerhouse packed with youthful energy and catchy hooks. Released in 2002 and produced by Arnold Lanni, it captures the angst and rebellious spirit of adolescence with unapologetic exuberance. This limited crystal-clear vinyl pressing amplifies the nostalgia, making it a must-have for fans of the genre. From the anthemic “I’m Just a Kid” to the infectious “Addicted,” each track brims with melodic punk energy and sing-along choruses that defined early 2000s pop-punk.The album's 12 tracks offer an outlet for teenage frustration and heartache while remaining irresistibly fun and relatable. With its shout-it-out-loud choruses and anti-anthems of youthful rebellion, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls continues to resonate with listeners who love its blend of humor, honesty, and irresistible hooks.
