Good Charlotte announce new album ‘Generation Rx’

GOOD CHARLOTTE have announced a new album!

The upcoming record, titled Generation Rx, is scheduled to be released in September this year and marks the first record to be released under the newly minted global partnership between the band’s MDDN label and BMG. The upcoming record was produced by Zakk Cervini and Benji [Madden, guitars/vocals] during intimate sessions at MDDN headquarters.

Speaking about the upcoming album, Joel and Benji Madden says, “at the beginning of the year, we were reflecting a lot. We just played a memorial service in honor of LIL PEEP. We were thinking of that. Our generation was the first to have so many ways to deal with pain. Throughout this century, we’ve seen the whole opioid crisis get worse. We wondered if we were really doing our part. We wanted to bet back out there on the battlefield and spread insight, share experience, and give anything we could to improve lives. The message is you can get through the pain, survive it, and have the life you want. We made the record on our own terms and our own time. In that respect, we channelled the soul of our first two albums. This is the album we’ve been waiting 15 years to create.”

Alongside the announcement of the upcoming album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming record; titled Actual Pain.
