Simple Plan began in 1993 with the formation of a band named by friends, and Reset toured around Canada with bands such as and , but only managed to gain modest popularity.The debut album, No Worries No Limits, was released in 1997, and Comeau left soon after to go to college.Two years later he met with high school friends Jean-François "Jeff" Stinco and who were in separate bands of their own, and combined to create Simple Plan.In late 1999, Comeau and Bouvier reacquainted at a concert and Bouvier left Reset soon after to join Comeau.
