Description

Joel Madden of Good Charlotte joins Maroon & Hindy on Triple M’s Rush Hour to celebrate the band’s long-awaited return to Australia with their new album Motel Du Cap. After seven years between records and eight years since their last Aussie tour, Joel reflects on how time away from the stage reignited the band’s passion and gave their sound a fresh edge. He opens up about his love for Australia, what he misses most about being down under, and what fans can expect when Good Charlotte finally hit our shores again.
The chat also dives into the inspiration behind Motel Du Cap — a wedding in the south of France that brought the band back together — and, of course, a wild story of the only fist fight Joel has ever had with his twin brother Benji backstage in Germany.
