Good Charlotte members Benji & Joel Madden have joined forces to become The Madden Brothers. This is the lead single from their upcoming album Greetings From California... . It impacts Pop radio via Capitol Records on June 30. This will be on iTunes on June 2.
This has a cool throwback vibe going on, but who knows if this will do anything.

This is really good and better than anything they ever released with Good Charlotte. The title is kind of amusing though.

I'm surprised they were able to retain their deal with Capitol but this is actually catchy and sounds very natural coming from them. I hope it's at least a minor hit somewhere.

I like it, but I dont see pop radio picking up a side project from 2 has beens formerly known for being in the pop-punk phase of the early 2000s.

I could see it being a hit in Australia at least, 'cause it's coming at the right time that Joel has a continued media presence over the next couple of months with 'The Voice' (and 'The Voice Kids' later on as well).

It's getting played by several other major market stations already too. I think Capitol is going to push this hard.

It reached top 50 really fast.
I thought they were a new group (well, they are a new group but they are on the business for long time) and i was quite surprised that a song that it's not on top 1000 itunes were getting so much play out of the blue By the way the song is catchy

I like this. I don't see it going far because it's almost TOO retro sounding, but I like it.

This is great. I love the riff after the chorus.

Weird, I was just randomly thinking to myself this past week if Good Charlotte broke up and what was happening with the Madden brothers.
Not the greatest song in the world, but it's refreshing and will do it's job bringing them back into the music scene. I hope their second single blows us away.

On first listen, this is just okay. If I hear it more, this could possibly grow on me. Not a bad song at all.

This song is kind of strange to me. The extremely poppy chorus doesn't seem like it fits very well with the very alternative-sounding rest of the song.

This sounds like a hit to me. I could see this being huge... It's different enough to stand out among what's playing on radio right now...

This seems like one of those songs that would cross over from Pop to Alternative - like Rude!, Home, Tennis Court and Best Day of My Life.

I remember hearing it (and AA's "Believer") on Alt Nation many months before it broke on pop. And Tennis Court wasn't a pop hit when it started to make its alt run (and it's now doing better on alt than pop). As for this song, I like it in pieces, but I think the production is kind of convoluted. But it's definitely better than I would have expected given the crap Good Charlotte has put out over the years though.

Alt Nation was super early on American Authors (as they are many similar acts, like Young Rising Sons now - I think they had Believer in rotation before BDOML was even released), but beyond that, I don't think Alt picked it up until after it began seeing success on pop.
