On the opening track their debut album Wakefield cheekily declare “We’re in it for the money, all the groupie honeys/We wanted to be famous… we sold out.” Which leads one to ponder: are the guys admitting that they’ve sold their souls for rock ‘n roll, or is there more to the story? “We get so tired of hearing that we’ve sold out,” complains guitarist JD Tennyson. Lounging in the Gold Club at Toronto’s Kool Haus prior to a recent show, Tennyson takes exception to the term “sell-out.” “All of our favourite bands are being called sellouts,” he says. “Kids these… Read more »

Good Charlotte are still deciding whether to put out a fourth single from The Young and the Hopeless, but if so, the band has selected “Hold On.” “It’s my favorite song on the record,” Benji Madden said backstage at Saturday’s KROQ Weenie Roast. “I think it’s sort of an anti-suicide song.
