Good Charlotte Chat About New Album

Good Charlotte
Jason Tate

Good Charlotte talked with Consequence:

Entering the studio for Motel Du Cap, they collectively agreed on what they wanted to do. They went “full circle,” harkening back to the writing process of their earliest days in a way that felt “freeing.” “Those first two records were just completely unconscious. We were just puking our shit. We were just going in the studio and saying, you know, just sit down with an acoustic guitar, write a song in literally 10 to 15 minutes, and go record it,” Benji explains “And we did this one the same way, man. There’s not 20 extra songs laying around there. There might be two or three. If we weren’t feeling it, we moved on.”

Review: Good Charlotte – Motel Du Cap

Adam Grundy

Good Charlotte have returned with their first studio album in seven years, called Motel Du Cap, and it is an exploration of the band’s humble beginnings, while still offering a few new musical elements to further the artistic direction of GC. The music landscape has changed quite a bit since Good Charlotte last released Generation Rx. Country artists are predominantly taking the top spots on the Billboard 200, while rock/punk music has offered some really cool emerging artists in the scene such as Turnstile, Pinkshift and Moving Mountains, just to name a few. So where does Good Charlotte fit in? The answer can be found by checking in to Motel Du Cap and hearing the Madden brothers’ unique perspective on how far they’ve come together, their past trauma, and overall outlook on life. The set was produced by Johan Carlsson, Zakk Cervini, Jordan Fish, Andrew Goldstein, and Charlie Puth, and is armed with 13 songs in total. Four of the tracks include guest artist spots, and Good Charlotte do a commendable job of not only paying homage to their past legacy as a band, but showcasing their staying power in our scene.

Good Charlotte Talk New Album

Good Charlotte talked with Rolling Stone about their latest album:

“We had to rehearse. We had to put it all together and I wanna make sure it’s perfect ’cause [Richie] loves our band and I wanted to give her the shows she wanted, not like some half-ass old tired bullshit show. We put a lot of effort into making it feel special and that’s actually what I cared about the most, was giving her what she asked for, which was a gift. It was a perfect night and we were all having a great time and we were hanging around… and then we were like, ‘Should we make a record?’ And we were laughing and then everyone was like ‘actually, I think we could fuck shit up if we made a record’ because the show was good and we were fucking good. And then the conversation continued.”
