With Simple Plan, Comeau has released six studio albums: No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls (2002), Still Not Getting Any (2004), Simple Plan (2008), Get Your Heart On! (2011), and Taking One for the Team (2016). The band has also released two EPs and two live albums, showcasing their energetic and engaging live performances.
In addition to his music career, Comeau co-founded the apparel company Role Model Clothing with Pierre Bouvier and Patrick Langlois. This venture is a testament to his creative flair and business acumen.
When not behind the drums, Comeau is a devoted uncle to his nephew Mathieu Comeau. He has also been involved in various charity initiatives, using his platform to raise awareness and support for social causes.
