Good Charlotte release surprise new single, Last December

Maryland pop-punk/rock titans Good Charlotte have just unveiled their first new single in two years: the moving and typically infectious Last December.

The song follows 2018's Generation Rx album, and also serves as something of a 20th anniversary gift to fans – 2000, of course, being the year the band unveiled their self-titled debut LP, Good Charlotte. On top of that, its lyrical themes just felt perfect to be released at this time of the year according to guitarist Benji Madden.

“2020 being the 20th anniversary of our self-titled debut album really made us feel like we wanted to release something for those fans who’ve gone on this journey with us,” he explains.

“The holidays can be a rough time of year – thinking of the ones we’ve lost and longing for moments that have passed us by is definitely a part of the joy and melancholy. For us, this song speaks to both sides of those holiday feelings and we hope it brings some solace to anyone who needs it.“
