Good Charlotte
A pop-punk band that started in Waldorf/Naptown in Maryland. Brothers Joel and Benji are lead vox and back-up vox/guitar respectively. Billy Martin on the other guitar, Paul Thomas on the bass, and Chris Wilson on the drums complete this quintet.
Not considered punk by "hard-core" punk fans (who would rather be listening to Avril Lavigne), they are neither punk nor pop.
Many people listen to them because their single "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" hit number one. Their most famous song, however, "Hold On", got world-wide fame as one of the first songs that confronted teens and parents about teen suicide and encouraged them to get help. When many others were talking about cutting themselves and killing themselves, Good Charlotte was encouraging teens to get help.
The band doesn't deserve the crap they get from peopl. People say that they hate Good Charlotte's music when they've only heard one or two songs by them. They dislike anyone who likes their music because it's music that isn't afraid to play.
