Good Charlotte Band • Page 32

On the new episode of Artist Friendly (Darius Rucker episode), Joel says they have started recording “yesterday”, which I assume by now is last week (or within the last month at the most). They’re also “figuring out how to tour”. He also mentions that they took this long break because the last tour (or album cycle) was hard on their families.

I recommend the podcast to GC fans in general by the way, in many episodes Joel talks a lot about their/his story too.

 

Was just coming here to post this! Awesome news!

 

Need a tour so damn bad

 

agreed! i haven't seen them in over a decade now!

 

They're like the one major pop-punk band from their era that I never got around to seeing at least once, I would go too

 

They were one of my first concerts ever, their tour with New Found Glory in 2003

 

The Honda Civic Tour to be specific

 

the first time i saw GC was an acoustic concert at my local tower records, it was late 01, early 02 before they really popped off, i was maybe 13 or 14. it was awesome meeting them before young and hopeless dropped.

then i didn't see them til years later it was a radio show and the lineup was stacked, it was them and sum 41 coheadlining, and then shiny toy guns and the bravery opened, i wanna say it was 06 or 07

 

Haha wow, I never saw this before

I wonder who they would get to produce a new album, if anyone.

 

Joel was on the Founder Hour podcast and mentioned they had finished writing for the new album.

 

I really love Joel man

 

He is great to listen to. Love hearing his thoughts on things.

 

Madden Brothers always seemed like genuinely good people. They got a LOT of shit thrown their way in message board culture during the early 00's with people assuming they were industry plants or corporate-created/not real "punk", etc. Seems like they've managed to leverage their success into a number of other lucrative projects which is great. In terms of their musical output, I fell off after Good Mourning Revial, are the later records good?

 

Cardiology is ok but has some songs i still go back to (that was the period where i think they were starting to burn out a bit). youth authority was a great comeback record and generation rx has some great stuff on it (even though it’s on the shorter side).

 

Can’t wait. I really hope this comes with some sort of touring

 

Joel confirmed on his latest podcast with Dexter from The Offspring that GC’s next album is coming out next year.

 

Please be accompanied by a tour

 

Let's hope! Because I feel like in 2023, he was alluding to new stuff in 2024 lol.

 

Agreed. He also said he’s really happy with what they wrote. He made it seem like it’s completed.

 

Hopefully a sign of things to come!

 

I really hope there’s a proper tour next year. I need to see these guys live

 

I think there will be a tour to support their new album coming out next year. Even if it’s just a short 2-3 month tour.
