Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden announce new band

The band will release their debut album, 'Greetings From California…', on October 7th via Capitol Records. Their first single, 'We Are Done' will be released on June 2nd. Benji Madden said that “The idea was to not hide behind a band name or a genre, but rather to write some songs, and find someone to record them and help us deliver the truest picture of who we are musically."

 

The band’s debut album will be a combination of “sunny pop-rock" produced by their long-time collaborator Eric Valentine (Taking Back Sunday, Third Eye Blind), with "a blend of folk, southern rock and ’70s-era FM pop", produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, The Strokes, the Shins). 

It is unclear whether or not this new undertaking will mark the end of Good Charlotte or not.
