PRE ORDERS FOR GENERATION RX START TODAY! BAND LAUNCHES COLLABORATION WITH LA STREETWEAR BRAND CHINATOWN MARKET TICKETS FOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR ON SALE TODAY AT 10:00AM LOCAL TIME GOOD CHARLOTTE today released “Shadowboxer”, the second single off their anxiously awaited seventh studio album Generation Rx. The song is available to stream and download now HERE. The band also released an accompanying music video for the track, directed by Jake Stark. In line with Generation Rx’s lyrical themes, the video for “Shadowboxer” is a solitary look at what appear to be everyday people confronting the pain and struggle that is reflected back at them as they look at themselves the mirror. Such pain is often not visible to others as the stigma of mental health issues forces many people to suffer in silence. Watch it HERE! Due for release on September 14, 2018, via a newly minted global partnership between the band’s MDDN label and BMG, Generation Rx is available for pre-order starting today HERE. The band also launched a collaboration with LA streetwear brand Chinatown Market, including limited edition shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and more. Chinatown Market for Good Charlotte pre-order bundles are available exclusively through Good Charlotte’s online store HERE. This fall, Good Charlotte will embark on a massive North American Tour in support of generation Rx that will kick off on October 12, 2018, in Mexico City, and wrap on November |
Generation Rx represents both a new chapter and full circle moment for the group—brothers Joel [vocals] and Benji Madden [guitar, vocals], Billy Martin [guitar], Paul Thomas [bass], and Dean Butterworth [drums]. Powered by punk spirit, rock songcraft, and cinematic ambition, they retain the signature vitality and vulnerability of their formative years, while delivering an urgent, unafraid, and undeniable message befitting of two decades in the game. The quintet craft intricate, yet infectious anthems of hope for a generation under the shadow of the Opioid epidemic, icons gone too soon, mass tragedy, loneliness, and confusion. Produced by Zakk Cervini and Benji during intimate sessions at MDDN headquarters, the record finds Good Charlotte doing what they do best—speaking directly to the youth. | |

First formed in 1996 by brothers Joel and Benji Madden, Maryland’s GOOD CHARLOTTE soundtracked the turn-of-the-century and empowered a generation with one cleverly catchy anthem after another. 2000’s landmark self-titled debut earned a gold plaque and quietly set the stage for worldwide superstardom.
In 2002, they unleashed the now-classic The Young and the Hopeless, which eventually went RIAA triple-platinum and would be lauded in the Top 20 of Rolling Stone’s“50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums” and BuzzFeed’s “36 Pop Punk Albums You Need to Hear Before You F——ing Die.” The highest charting album from Good Charlotte in Canada also went on to sell 3 x Platinum.
2004’s The Chronicles of Life and Death bowed at #3 on the BillboardTop 200 and reached platinum status in the USA and in Canada.
Good Morning Revival [2007] and Cardiology [2010] repeated that Top 10 success in Canada and the USA and brought the band around the world multiple times in front of countless screaming fans.
Along the way, everyone from N.E.R.D. and Three 6 Mafia to Avenged Sevenfold and Tonight Alive jumped at the chance to collaborate. By 2018, cumulative sales exceeded 11 million worldwide, while accolades encompassed everything from KERRANG! Awards to an MTV VMA. Following a six-year hiatus, they made a much-lauded return with their first independent offering Youth Authority during 2016. However, their music and message prove as potent as ever on 2018’s Generation Rx—the first album to be released under their partnership with BMG. Generation Rx needed a voice, and there’s no one better to provide it than GOOD CHARLOTTE.
