Good Charlotte clearly never got the memo that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Greatest Remixes is a poor attempt at converting vintage GC songs into dancefloor filler. They try to sound bad-ass by enlisting B-list rappers to curse and drop the N-bomb, but the end result is somewhere between pathetic and annoying. I used to listen to Good...

All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Forever The Sickest Kids Highlight Bamboozle Roadshow

I should clarify some things before I start this review. Yes, I was out of diapers when Good Charlotte became a band 14 years ago. Yes, I do remember when Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" was originally played on the radio, before it became a huge part of one of Jim Carrey's terrible films. Does this mean that I was probably a fair bit older than...

Good Charlotte Think "Rock Critic" Bands Don't Affect Pop Culture

Good Charlotte know they aren't the world's most critically acclaimed band. So instead of trying to appeal to an audience bent on hating them, they've fully embraced their pop leanings on their new album, Good Morning Revival. The record finds the band in a much more comfortable place than 2004's The Chronicles Of Life And Death, and they even...
