Experience “Good Morning Revival” With Good Charlotte on Xbox Live

Punk-pop rockers chosen as February’s Xbox Live Artist of the Month.

Fronted by identical twin brothers Benji and Joel Madden, Good Charlotte, which has already released three albums and is gearing up to debut its fourth, has been announced as February’s Xbox Live^® Artist of the Month. Formed in 1996, the band, most known for 2002’s triple platinum “The Young and the Hopeless” and 2004’s subsequent million-selling album, “The Chronicle of Life and Death,” also includes friends Billy Martin and Paul Thomas.

 

Beginning Feb. 1, Xbox Live members can download exclusive Good Charlotte content from Xbox Live Marketplace to their Xbox 360™ console, including free videos from the upcoming album “Good Morning Revival,” which is set to be released March 27. Videos for their single “The River,” which features M. Shadows and Synyster Gates, and for “Keep Your Hands Off My Girl” will be available free on Xbox Live Marketplace, and select Xbox Live Gold members will also have the opportunity to go head-to-head with the band in “Gears of War” during their 90-minute Xbox Live Game with Fame session.

From the opening sounds of Good Charlotte’s fourth album “Good Morning Revival” — which launches with an artful, innovative sound collage that slides into the irresistible “Misery” — it is apparent that the world-famous band, which has sold more than 9 million albums, has revolutionized its sound for 2007. In addition, by the time the optimistic parting shot “March On” rolls around, it is evident that this vibrant, adventurous and unexpected rock album has redefined the group.
