Good Charlotte released Cardiology nearly a year ago, but the band has announced that they will be going on a hiatus. The band will be releasing a mixtape called Before The Fame: The Madden Brothers on October 1st, but that will be the last material from the band for the foreseeable future.

We’re stepping away from the grind of making records and touring for a minute, just to have fun and be creative like we were when we were 15.

We’re already having a blast in our studio with all these new artists making music just for fun. And the mix tape’s free, they’re gonna get it for free, there’s no quota we’re trying to fill, there’s no machine we’re trying to fuel, we just want to make music with new artists and god bless EMI, they let us do what we want.
