來自馬里蘭州的Good Charlotte，成軍也已進入第十個年頭，曾贏得加拿大Much Music音樂獎“最佳國際團體”與MTV錄影帶音樂獎“觀眾票選最愛”，宣染出一片年輕旺盛的氣焰，并迅速成為年輕學子瘋狂追逐的焦點。

主唱Joel及吉他手Benji Madden這對雙胞胎兄弟，自小就對音樂有著濃厚興趣，他們每天都花上好幾個小時在演唱和創作音樂上。他們與貝斯手Paul Thomas、鼓手Aaron Escolopio共同創作表演，之后吉他手Billy Martin加入團中，Good Charlotte終告成立。這支名字來自某本兒童讀物的樂隊開始闖蕩樂壇，于2000年推出首張同名專輯，贏取一張金唱片。接著于2002年發行《The Young And The Hopeless》，兩年后發行《The Chronicles Of Life And Death》，光在美國銷售就加總突破四百萬張。如今的Good Charlotte，不再是過去困苦的小孩，他們已然是富有知名的搖滾明星。但是這一切榮耀光彩的景況并不代表了他們已經忘記來時路，忘記自己的根本。他們此刻更是努力在他們的音樂事業上，讓他們的夢想能夠永久持續下去。他們仍舊堅持于他們固有的流行朋克風格，在自己的最新專輯中加入了更多流行元素，并被賦予了富有冒險、意想不到等諸多定義。

At the time, Madden also added that they had already written 20 songs for the album, and are said to be heading back to their pop-punk roots.



Describing the sound to MTV news, Joel Madden said "There's nothing dance-y on the record, though, at all, which is different from our last one," ] further implying a movement away from the sound of Good Morning Revival.
