Good Charlotte sign to new label

On the eve of the first Good Charlotte UK tour in five years, the band have announced they have signed to a new label.

Kobalt Label Services, which includes artists such as Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Pet Shop Boys on its roster, have signed an agreement ‘effective immediately’ with the band – which will include the upcoming and as yet untitled sixth Good Charlotte album.

Previous GC albums have been released on labels Epic and Capitol.

In the press release, Benji and Joel say the sixth album will be ‘the best music we’ve ever made’.

KLS describes itself as providing the ‘next generation of services’ for artists – and says it allows acts to maintain ownership of their masters.

The current Good Charlotte UK tour starts in Cardiff tonight.

Exciting times – Good Charlotte have revealed some more details about their upcoming album in an interview with Rolling Stone.

The band’s sixth album will be out in May, the magazine reveals – but they’ve not yet announced the name.

The interview also reveals lyrics from a new Good Charlotte song that we vcan expect on album 6:

‘You know they say that nothing lasts forever/You know they said we’d never stay together/It’s a long way down/Can’t turn back now/Going through these life changes.’

Hopefully we’ll hear some of these new tracks on the upcoming Good Charlotte UK gigs in February!
