Description
2014 release from this new project led by Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden. The album is split into two ‘sides’, the first filled with upbeat, sunny pop-rock produced by their long-time collaborator Eric Valentine. It features the lyrically unapologetic ‘We Are Done,’ which Benji says is an anthem about standing up for yourself. ‘It’s for anyone who’s feeling unappreciated or abused, or is suffering in any way,’ he says. ‘We want to inspire people to speak up.’ Side Two is an earthy blend of folk, Southern rock, and 70s-era FM pop produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli, known for his work with the White Stripes, the Strokes the Shins and many others. It’s centerpiece is ‘California Rain,’ which tells the story of the Maryland-born brothers journey from East Coast to West Coast.
