If you haven't heard they're single Little Things, you don't know what you've been missing... these guys are from my hometown - little ol' Waldorf, MD, and they just put the city on the map! I've seen them play 5 or 6 times, and it just gets better. If you want a genre to slap on them, I guess you could say that they're a punk/rock/good charlotte type of band :-) They've been compared to Third Eye Blind, Eve 6, and Blink 182, but they definitely have a distinctive sound. My advice - check out Complicated, Little Things, East Coast Anthem, and Waldorf World Wide in MP3 form, and then BUY THIS CD!!!! oh yeah, and see them live if you get the chance, you won't be sorry ;-)

Good Charlotte made me do the one thing i have rarely done and that is run out and bought the Cd! After hearing Good Charlotte's first single, "Little Things", i was suitably impressed. But in the back of my mind there was still the fear of wasting 17$ on a cd that contains only one good track. I'm hear to tell you that you don't have to worry about that. Like, the single and first track, Little Things, the entire album was an amazing effort by this punk band. "Waldorf Worldwide" is a great song serving as a mission statement for the band. "The Motivation Proclamation" starts slow but kicks into a powerful chorus complete with catchy lyrics that you can't help but sing along to. "East Coast Anthem" has screaming lyrics and pounding guitars that gets your blood going, along with songs "Walk By", Let Me Go", "Festival Song", and "I don't want to stop". "Seasons" starts out slow like a ballad but by the chorus the drums and guitars takes over and transform the song into another rocker. "Screamer" is just that, a wonderfully screaming punk song. The cd wraps up with the bands ballad, change, a heartfelt I-like-you-but-you-don't-know-I-exist love song that everybody has felt at one time or another. You can't go wrong with this cd; the sound is great, a perfect fusion of punk and pop, and there is something about the lead singer, josh's vocal that everyone will love.
WOW! THE BEST December 18, 2001

Waldorf, Maryland's favorite band rocks on debut album September 13, 2000

good charlotte has a lot going for them. a great fan base, good live shows, and one awesome cd. i saw them play about five months ago. my friend has their demos, and i heard the demo tapes and was knocked out of my socks. well, she got the new cd in advanced. i love it ! they have everything. good lyrics, punk rock sounding guitars, and cathcy melodies. They are a mix of modern alternative rock and punk from the 70's like the clash. i don't have a fovrite song, because they all are so great. but the one's i listen to when getting ready for school are little things , east coast anthem, and screamer. i definately recondmend this cd to anybody especially teenagers who feel they don't fit in. and i recondmend everyone goes and sees them on tour. good charlotte, no only are they "good", they know how to rock !
GC is my fav band and here's why: January 8, 2003

Good Charlotte is my fav band because they have a style all their own. They write about beliefs and previous experiences in their life. In doing this, they enable their fans to feel closer to them on a more personal level. After listening to both their cd's, you will feel like you've known them forever.
On a more personal note, the twins, Benji and Joel, grew up in Waldorf Maryland. After deciding they wanted to be in a band and after forming that band, they moved to Annapolis, MD, two minutes away from where I live. They played at local clubs, and also at a local hang-out where my friends and I have gone many times. Everyone that went to the hang-out pretty much talked with friends or got into trouble, regardless of whether bands were playing a show there or not. However, EVERYONE wanted to see Good Charlotte when they came around b/c they were the best underground band. Well their not so underground anymore.
I have many friends that went to school with the guys, or are close friends with them, or have met them on many occasions. They all say the same thing, the guys are really cool and their music is even better.
Now for a cd review:
CD #1: Good Charlotte~Good Charlotte: This cd is amazing and I'm sure you all have heard little things. All the cd's have a catchy tune and they vary in subjects, unlike some bands where every other song is about love or money. Good Charlotte keeps their music remarkably clean and there's no drug content. Song number 13, or Change, is a real sweet song with a bonus track at the end about the twins' mother. In total, this is a cd you should definitely consider, I bought it ages ago and I still play it.CD#2: The Young and the Hopeless: This cd is even better than the first and is quite different as well. The Anthem: A good song about being yourself and not wanting to be like everyone else.
My Old Man: A good upbeat song about the twins' father. Bloody Valentine: Now before you criticize or think that GC is strange for writing a song like this, get the facts first. Joel wrote this song based upon Edgr Allen Poe's, " A Tell Tale Heart". Now if that doesn't say how creative they are with their lyrics, I don't know what does. EMOTIONLESS: Another song about the twins' father, only this one is slower, and a bit sad and touching actually, you might want a box of tissues.
All the songs on this cd are awesome, I just wanted to mention these.
If you are new to Good Charlotte, then I definitely suggest you buy both their cd's because they're awesome and you'll walk away feeling like you've known them forever.
Okay GC, I told you I would represent you and I did. FOREVER LOVE
