The twin brothers that make up the core of Good Charlotte were born on March 11, 1979 in the “middle-of-nowhere-suburbs”, Waldorf, Maryland. The brothers, Joel and Benji Madden were turned on to music by their older brother, Josh. Their influences started with bands like Rancid, Minor Threat, the Cure and the Smiths. Benji started learning to play the guitar at 16 while Joel developed his vocal talent.

After their bassist, Paul guitarist Billy joined the twins, Good Charlotte took their name from a children’s book and played their first gig in a neighbor’s basement for an audience of 20. Benji recalls, “We only played our own song so we weren’t good enough to learn anyone else’s songs!”

That childrens book they took their name from has a similar theme to what they have come to...
