Good Charlotte is a pop punk band from Waldorf, Maryland that formed in 1996. They took their name from a children's book called Good Charlotte: The Girls of Good Day Orphanage by Carol Beach York. They have released four albums in total, most notably 2002's multi-platinum seller The Young and the Hopeless, which spawned the singles, "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous", "The Anthem", and "Girls and Boys". Their new album, Good Morning Revival, was released on March 19, 2007 in Europe and on March 27, 2007 in the United States. The band is fronted by identical twin brothers Joel (lead vocals and Benji Madden (lead guitar and backing vocals). Other members of the band include Billy Martin (rhythm guitar and keyboards), Paul Thomas (bass guitar) and Dean Butterworth (drums and percussion).


From 1996 to 1999, Good Charlotte garnered popularity by playing at clubs and small venues. They soon caught the attention of post-grunge band Lit (whose song "My Own Worst Enemy" was a chart topper at the time). Good Charlotte filled the opening slot on Lit's east coast tour in 1999. Soon after, Good Charlotte played some dates with blink-182, who had just experienced mainstream success with their Enema of the State album. All of this caught the attention of major music labels, and Good Charlotte eventually signed with Epic Records in 1999. In 2000, they released their self titled debut album Good Charlotte. Y100, a now-defunct radio station in Philadelphia spun Good Charlotte's song "Little Things" before it was released as a single. It ended up being a big success on the station, so big that on Y100's nightly "Cage Match" competition (where new songs were pitted against each other and listeners could vote on which was better), "Little Things" won fifteen nights in a row, beating out bigger names. "Little Things" was later released as a single in early 2001, and soon peaked at #23 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. In the second half of the year, two more singles were released from the album, "Motivation Proclamation" and "Festival Song". "Motivation Proclamation" was the most successful single released from the album, peaking at #65 on the U.S. Hot 100. On "Complicated", Joel Madden references an Eric B. & Rakim song ("Came in the door/I said it before").
