Joel Madden on Good Charlotte’s Return and the Story Behind Motel Du Cap

Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden joins Dobbo & Elliott on Triple M’s Rush Hour to celebrate the band’s long-awaited return to Australia and the release of their brand-new album, Motel Du Cap — their first in seven years. Joel opens up about the band’s connection to Australia, what he misses most about being down under, and how time away from touring reignited the fire in Good Charlotte. He shares the story behind Motel Du Cap — including the correct pronunciation — and how a wedding in the south of France brought the brothers back together for their eighth studio record. We also get a peek behind the curtain with Joel proudly showing off his TV Week Logie on camera, plus the three acts still on the Good Charlotte bucket list: Green Day, Blink-182, and Luke Combs. Finally, it’s twin-talk time as Dobbo, a father of twins, dives into Joel’s bond with Benji Madden — from childhood rivalry to the fight that nearly tore the dressing room apart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
