Good Charlotte

Good Charlotte are well on the way to completing their brand new album Cardiology, the follow-up to 2007's Good Morning Revival. In an exclusive interview with Kerrang!, the band's frontman Joel Madden reveals how the group have already written 20 songs, and are heading back to the punk roots of their past.

"We are probably two weeks away from from being done with the writing," says Joel, who along with brother Benji will shortly travel to Canada to escape the distractions of home and nail down the finer details fo the album. "It's leaning much more towards a straight-up rock or pop-punk sound. We've grown up a lot on the writing front."

The title - Cardiology - comes from the album's lyrical content, which Joel explains is "all connected to the heart."
"They're not necessarily love songs," he states. "It's about exploring the way that you can love, not love, lose love and everything in between."

Joel reveals that producers lined up for the new album may include Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne), (English pop producer) Trevor Horn and John Feldmann (Atreyu, The Used).

"It's important to us to work with a producer that believe in us," says Madden. "When someone really gets behind us and tells us that they believe in what we're doing, it counts for more than almost anthing else."

Cardiology will be out in 2009. Their latest album, The Greatest Remixes, is out now via Epic.

wow i cant wait the name sounds very original for a punk rock album make time go faster!!
someone knews the month that cardiology will be out?
March / April, according to Benj.
1979?? That's a fair famous Smashing Pumpkins song... I hope there isn't really going to be a song called that on the new GC album :S... Not that I'm saying GC's 1979 wouldn't be up to scratch or anything... ergh forget I said anything. Lol
Funny thing...I've checked this thread so many times but usually there's nothing new about Cardiology :/

Ohh wait we have vids. Those videos are awesome^^. I think it'd be even more awesome if we could get like few new lines or at least a song title or two...
Guessing what's new album like is always (to me).
Cardiology isnt comming out until like april or march of 2010

I like it but it reminds me of a shop over here, pretty sure it's called Kenny's Cardiology that sell little trinkets,cards ect.So instantly i think of cards,poems =songs haha.
It has been to long since the last album.I anticipate it's gonna have that golden touch,but the wait is a killer.
The Anxiety of waiting for this album will drive me crazy, but it will be worth it. Also they should tour Australia with Atreyu and Anti-Flag.
they will never tour with a political punkband ;)
WOOOOHOOO...can't wait!!! Puerto Rico is ready..lol
