Pop punk legends Good Charlotte have recently hit Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform their most recent single ‘Rejects.’ The band will drop their eighth studio album titled ‘Motel Du Cap’ on August 8th via Atlantic Records.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, Benji shared about the new record: “Now, when we write we only set out to do one thing: express ourselves. We don’t premeditate any songs. We write a stream of consciousness. It’s something we kind of learned over the years as we thought back to when we made our first couple of records.”
“We came all the way around to what was the best thing for us, which is just to let our feelings out and not try to control it too much. You don’t need to write 50 songs for a record; you need to write 12. Whatever came out in that moment is the whole portrait. We made this record completely unconsciously. We didn’t meditate, we made it. We just said, ‘We need to get some things out,’ and we hit record.”
