Joel and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte have announced a brand new band that will go by the simple name of The Madden Brothers. The band will be releasing their debut album on October 7 via Capitol Records. The new album will be titled Greetings From California. Also, a new single from the two is slated for release on June 2nd, along with a lyric video.
A quote from Benji is below.
“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,” Benji Madden says.
The band’s debut album is split into two sides. Side 1 is described as sunny pop-rock, produced by their longtime collaborator Eric Valentine (Taking Back Sunday, Third Eye Blind). Side 2 is sort of a mix between folk, southern rock, and ’70’s FM pop, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (the White Stripes, the Strokes).
