Simple Creatures break cover: "We wanted to showcase a different side of ourselves"

Mark Hoppus and Alex Gaskarth have teamed up for a two-person supergroup.

Rather than choosing to spend time alone in his room, Mark got out of the house and started creating. In his head, it was going to be a solo project that saw him collaborating with a bunch of friends but after he clicked so well with All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth, the first person on the list, he realised they didn't need anyone else.

After a couple of months, it was decided that this musical experiment should become a proper band. Welcome to Simple Creatures.

They're still at it. There's one EP finished, another due to come out in summer and the pair were together a few days ago writing even more.

"The first song we wrote won't see the light of day because it sounds too much like what we both already do," teases Alex. As soon as they hit familiar ground, they realised they had to do things differently.
