Simpleton is a Pop Punk/Pop Rock band from Stillwater, OK. Their name was derived from their less-is-more song writting philosophy, "Keep it Simple." Simpleton has played over 50 shows in the past four years. All shows have been in the state of Oklahoma, mainly in the Stillwater area. Simpleton looks to continue their progression as a band in hopes of someday landing a record label and going on a small tour across the country.
