You’ve got to hand it to Good Charlotte. While most other disposable rock acts rolled out on the label conveyor belt have vanished into chart purgatory, eight years on from releasing their debut single ‘Little Things’ the pop punkers are still releasing top selling albums, selling out venues, and sending fans into meltdown.
If selling a collective ten million copies of their albums wasn’t enough to silence their critics, then their astoundingly solid fan base that sticks with them through changes in sound, line-ups, and direction, certainly has. As much of a staple in tabloids as they are in the charts, the lads from Maryland are as popular as ever, and while their commercial fortune has been fickle in other regions, GC’s popularity shows no sign of waning here.
Currently in town for a stack of promo duties and to host the Nickelodean Kids Awards with Deltra Goodrum, Benji Madden rang up for a chin wag with MTV about fans, getting scared, and what’s so fricken’ good about the land down under.
