GC Set ‘Cardiology’ Release Date, sign to Capitol/EMI

So the official release date of Cardiology is October 26th!

Fresh off a two-month run on the Bamboozle Roadshow, veteran pop-punk outfit Good Charlotte has announced an Oct. 26 release date for its fifth album, “Cardiology.” The set will be Good Charlotte’s first release on Capitol Records after issuing its first four albums on Epic.
“Cardiology” is the follow-up to 2007 disc “Good Morning Revival,” which explored dance-floor pop and has sold 314,000 copies according to Nielsen Soundscan. The album’s first single is entitled “Like It’s Her Birthday.”

Also, GC signed up to Capitol/EMI Records, and “Cardiology” will be released as first album under the new record label.

(New York, NY – July 22, 2010) Rock sensations Good Charlotte are proud to announce that they have signed to Capitol Records and will be releasing their highly anticipated fifth full-length album Cardiology on October 26, 2010, almost exactly 10 years after their self-titled debut put them on the map as one of the most exciting bands of the decade. Originally formed as a pop-punk band in Waldorf, Maryland, in 1996, Good Charlotte—vocalist Joel Madden, guitarist Benji Madden, guitarist Billy Martin, bassist Paul Thomas and the latest edition, drummer Dean Butterworth—have sold over 10 million records to date and penned countless mainstream radio hits such as “The Anthem,” “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous” and “Hold On.”

status mag – good times with joel

Status magazine just posted up parts of their interview with Joel that didn’t make it to print. Thanks to Gio Dionisio from Status for letting us know! Here you go:

First of, why pick a title of a children’s book as your and your bro’s
band name? What did that book mean for you?
The book actually had no significance to me growing up. We literally found it at
the first place we had band practice, and it seemed like a good name. We were
15.

Where is Good Charlotte now? Can you describe to us your mental state as a
band in 2010?
Good Charlotte is better than ever. We have taken the last few years off. We
need to regroup and reconsider what we were doing as a band. And we all needed
to spend sometime on our families. It was good time away.

What’s the difference between punk rocker Joel Madden and DJ Joel Madden?
When and where can we usually see the two?
Well, the rock-and-roll me is purely on stage, and on tour. I enjoy making music
and meeting GC fans. I love preforming and touring. The DJ in me is purely a fan
of music, and of making people dance and have a good time. No matter what kind
of music they like, it doesn’t matter. They don’t have to be a fan of me, or my
band. In the club, everyone is there to get away from life for a minute and have
fun with their friends. All I want to do is have a good time and make sure I
rock the party.

We heard you walked out of an interview in Australia last year. In your
opinion, what are the lines that interviewers should never cross?
I think it’s just about mutual respect for each other as human beings. I respect
all people, and try to be a decent guy. If someone is trying to make me a party
to something disrespectful to someone I don’t know and I’m not comfortable with
it, i gotta bounce! Really wasn’t a big deal, I just felt it wasn’t for me, and
there was nothing clever I could say.

You once said in an interview that the torment you experienced from your high
school peers inspire much of your songs’ lyrics. Is it still true today? If you
could meet them today face to face, what would you say to them?
I have no hard feelings to anyone. I feel I have a really blessed life and I
really got no grudges. I’m a happy dude.
