Good Charlotte Announce First Album in Seven Years, ‘Motel Du Cap’

Good Charlotte are officially back. The pop-punk icons announced Monday (June 16) that their eighth studio album, Motel Du Cap, is due out Aug. 8, marking their first full-length release in seven years.

The band teased the comeback in classic GC fashion: with a cryptic billboard on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles featuring a photo of the band, the album title, and the release date, as per Rolling Stone. While no additional details were included, it was enough to spark buzz across social media.

Alongside the billboard, Good Charlotte also shared a teaser video on Instagram featuring the mysterious ‘Motel Du Cap’, alongside the caption, “Waldorf’s best kept historical landmark since 1996. Come stay with us and bask in the beautiful Maryland sunshine! Book your reservation at goodcharlotte.com.” The hometown reference nods to their roots in Waldorf, Maryland, where the band originally formed.
